Srinagar, July 4: Terming the continued suspension of its president, Dr Nisar-ul-Hassan as unjustified, Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) today sought reinstatement of his service.
While demanding immediate revocation of his suspension, the DAK spokesperson, Dr Riyaz Ahmad Daga, said Dr Nisar was ‘victimized for highlighting the illegal trade of spurious drugs in Jammu and Kashmir’. “He exposed spurious drug scandal in which some powerful and mighty were involved and ironically the trade of spurious drugs is continuing unabated,” Dr Riyaz said.
Recent report of Comptroller and Audit General (CAG) of India revealed that substandard drugs were supplied to Government hospitals which validate our stand, said the DAK spokesman, adding that his endeavors in this regard should have been applauded ‘but instead he was arrested and suspended and false cases were fabricated against him’.
He said that his family is in pain and they have no reason to celebrate Eid and appealed Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti to reinstate Dr Nisar on Eid so that he can resume his duties and deliver his services that are direly needed for his patients.
