‘Freedom movement should be institutionalized’
Srinagar: President Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) on Sunday said that doctors in the valley shall provide free medical assistance to families of ‘victims of oppression’.
According to a statement issued to KNS, Dr Nisar-ul-Hassan has said that doctors both in private and public sector will give free consultation to victim families. “They will be provided with medicine free of cost and they will not be charged on investigations either. The treatment of Victim families will be prioritized in hospitals. We have an obligation to the families of those who achieved martyrdom for their nation. We cannot get back their loved ones but by free medical assistance, we will give some semblance of respect to their sacrifices,” he has said.
Dr Hassan has opined that freedom movement should be institutionalized as it is fundamental and key to its success. “Institutionalization is a process which translates mission, policies, vision and strategic plans of freedom movement into action. It means expansion and improved organization. Institutionalization will give us economic independence which is pivotal for sustaining the struggle.”
This way, he said people will be able to support and take care of needs of victim families. “We will automatically come under one banner and will involve each and every person. Intellectuals have to be in charge of institutional activities. We need to inculcate conviction and passion for freedom to make it incessant rather than event based. We need to realize that we have to make sacrifices to achieve our goal as there is no other way to fight against oppression,” he has added. (KNS)
