Lahore: Law Minister Punjab Rana Sanaullah on Wednesday said that the Young Doctors Association has ended their strike continuing from last 15 days.

Talking to media representatives, Rana Sanaullah said that all arrested doctors would be released.

Punjab government launched a crackdown against young doctors and arrested 33 of them. Almost 24 of the doctors were released on Tuesday while others would be released on Wednesday (today).

The breakthrough came after the meeting of senior doctors with Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif.

On the other hand, the Young Doctors spokesman Dr Zulqurnain denied Sanaullah’s remarks and said that instead of outdoor and indoor operations, the doctors are resuming their services in emergency wards across the hospitals in Punjab.

    Shahbaz Sharif is well
    known dictator in civil clothes.They is real robbers and vagabonds. Actually
    Doctors work hard but due to no infrastructure many of them leave country. It
    is farcical.  if you give them what they deserve ,strike never occur. I
    appreciate they should not do strike but no one listen. I myself worked in 2000
    free of cost for many months & then left the country because helping
    humanity for nothing doesn’t fill your pocket or stomach. The way Shahbaz
    Sharif is behaving now is their actual picture. I hope & pray Allah help us
    get rid of these bad leaders. it can only happen if people become determined
    that they want to get rid of these people. Doctors are the highly educated
    peoples of Pakistan, they are the cream of nation, but the attitude shown by
    Punjab Govt towards doctor’s community is brutal and barbaric, we all condemn
    it. We must respect our educated people or otherwise in next few years we will
    not find any educated person in Pakistan especially doctors. Doctor’s demands
    are just right; Punjab Govt can fulfill it but cm just for his ego playing with
    people of Punjab shame on Govt for this act, another black day in Pakistan
    history shame cm khadim-e-ala, and wake up until its too late.
