Srinagar: Doctors Association Kashmir Wednesday threatned of going for an indefinite strike if suspension order of their incumbent president Dr Nisar-ul-Hasan is not revoked by Thursday. In a statement issued to CNS, DAK spokesperson said that doctors and paramedics in tertiary care and peripheral hospitals wore black bands in response to the call given by DAK. The call was given to protest against the unjustified suspension of President DAK Dr Nisar-ul-Hassan. The protest has send a loud and clear message to the government that suspension of Dr Nisar is unacceptable as it is against the natural justice. The spokesperson said that by way of suspending Dr Nisar patients who are following him are deprived of health care. Undergraduate and postgraduate medical students are deprived of a teacher and mentor. “This politically motivated decision is shame on those who hollow the pillars of democracy by criminalizing freedom of thought and stigmatizing the voice against tyranny. Dr Nisar was punished for raising social issues for which he should have been rewarded but instead he was victimized at the behest of perpetrators of social evils,” the spokesperson said adding that the suspension of Dr Nisar is a conspiracy to sabotage and kill the righteous voice. Spokesperson DAK said that shades of opinion are to be respected rather than criminalized. It is undemocratic to punish a person for a different ideology. DAK spokesperson thanked public and all those sociopolitical organizations that came in support with Dr Nisar at this critical Juncture. “The public anger against victimization of DAK president is an eye opener for the government,” spokesperson said adding that if suspension order of Dr Nisar is not revoked by Thursday then they will go for an indefinite strike.
