Sindh Minister for Information, Local Government, Housing &Town Planning, Religious Affairs, Forest and Wildlife Syed Nasir Hussain Shah has said that Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah, while taking notice of the violence against the medical staff of the Civil Hospital, ordered an immediate inquiry into the incident.
“Our doctors, nurses and paramedics are risking their lives to save the lives of others. Such violence against them is intolerable,” the provincial Information Minister said. “If people had a complaint against the medical staff, they should have talked to the administration and not attacked them,” he said.
Syed Nasir Hussain Shah said that legal action was being taken against all the attackers and cases had been registered against them. The provincial Information Minister said that a detailed report in this regard would be submitted to the Sindh Chief Minister soon. He said that the Chief Minister expressed his indignation over all these incidents in which the Civil Hospital as well as the Jinnah Hospital were vandalized and rioted.
Addressing the doctors, nurses and paramedical staff of the government hospitals, Syed Nasir Hussain Shah said that they should not feel alone at all as the government was standing by them. Meanwhile, Sindh Information Minister Syed Nasir Hussain Shah has said that Covid 19 saved the PTI government, otherwise the state of the country’s economy owing to the fialed policies of this incompetent government was in front of everyone. The provincial Information Minister said that politics itself was not a bad thing at all, but bad people had dishonoured it. “Everyone knows who is causing the controversies in the country,” he said.
Syed Nasir Hussain Shah said that the seriousness of the Prime Minister regarding Covid-19 could be gauged from the fact that the first case of Coronavirus in the country came to light on February 26, while the Prime Minister convened the first meeting to address this serious issue on March 13. The provincial Information Minister said that only a tweet came between February 26 and March 13. He said that from the very beginning, the Sindh government tried its utmost that a unanimous voice should go out in public regarding the steps being taken to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus, but it was unfortunate to say that due to the lack of seriousness of the federal government, the sincere attempt of the Sindh government failed.
Syed Nasir Hussain Shah said that the Sindh government decided to impose strict lockdown in the province after consulting medical experts. The provincial Information Minister said that if the Prime Minister had supported Syed Murad Ali Shah regarding strict lockdown at that time the situation would have been very different today regarding the spread of Coronavirus in the country. “Because of the federal government’s failure to make timely decisions, we will now have to deal with the coronavirus for a long time,” he said.
Syed Nasir Hussain Shah said that opening of businesses would be allowed but with standard operating procedures. The provincial Information Minister said that if on the suggestion of the Sindh government two complete lockdown of 15vdays each had been imposed in the beginning, the coronavirus would not had spread so much in the country today. “If we had taken appropriate measures at the Iran-Afghanistan borders and at the airports in the beginning, we could have prevented the Coronavirus from entering the country,” he said. Syed Nasir Hussain Shah said that when the Prime Minister woke up on March 13 despite the appearance of the first Coronavirus case on February 26, how could the timely preventive measures be taken?
The provincial Information Minister said the Sindh government had been accused from the beginning of intimidating the people. He said that when the doctors held a press conference and talked about the threat of coronavirus, then they were also accused of holding a press conference at the behest of the Sindh government. Syed Nasir Hussain Shah said that of although the Sindh government seemed to be a villain in the eyes of common man and business community today, but whatever tough decisions the Sindh government took; it did it to save lives.
