CM Buzdar to present report on PIC clavsh to PM today
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Chief Minister of Punjab (CM) Sardar Usman Buzdar on Thursday will call on Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan to present him a report on Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) clash.
According to details, Punjab law minister and chief secretary will also accompany the CM during the meeting.
In a statement, CM Buzdar has vowed to take stern action against those involved in PIC riot, adding that the provincial government won’t tolerate any kind of chaos in the province.
My all sympathies are with the families of the victims, he stated.
The CM further told that the process of identifying the suspects from available CCTV and other footages has been launched.
It is to be mentioned here that a violent clash that erupted between hundreds of lawyers and doctors on Wednesday had left four patients dead when the charged lawyers stormed into the PIC and broke windows of the emergency ward and several vehicles parked nearby.
Lawyers went “out of control” while holding batons and sticks and broke the emergency gate of the PIC after a video that showed doctors allegedly torturing lawyers went viral on the social media.
Later, two FIRs (first information reports), under the provisions of Anti Terrorism Act (ATC) and damage to public and private property, were also registered against over 250 lawyers.
While talking to media, Lahore Capital City Police Officer (CCPO), Zulfiqar Hameed said that more arrests were being made and all actions would be taken in accordance with the Law.
“All possible footages [of the clash] have been obtained,” he said, adding that police were unaware of lawyers’ protest yesterday and when it rushed at the spot, policemen pushed the lawyers twice out of the hospital.
