Cardiology institute MS seeks case against MPA

MULTAN, Oct 8: The Chaudhry Pervez Elahi Institute of Cardiology medical superintendent has submitted an application to police for filing an FIR against PPP MPA Syed Nazim Husain Shah for allegedly intervening in official work and damaging state property, and sought protection against any harm.

In his application addressed to Cantonment police station SHO Rizwan Khan, Dr Fazalur Rehman stated that on Oct 6, the MPA along with his men visited his office and started abusing him (Dr Fazal) and Punjab health secretary while discussing the case of Dr Ali Raza Gardezi, the former executive director of the institute. Dr Gardezi was suspended from service for his alleged involvement in some bogus recruitments.

Dr Rehman said the MPA threatened him with dire consequences when he was told that Dr Gardezi’s case would be decided by health secretary.

He said the MPA and his men entered the office of Dr Gardezi after breaking its door lock.

“It is requested that protection should be provided to me as a government employee and FIR should be lodged (against the MPA) for intervening in official work, damaging the government property and committing vandalism and terrorism,” the application said.

Mr Rehman said Dr Gardezi and Wasim Abbas Zaidi, a co-accused in the bogus recruitment case, would be responsible for any harm done to him.

Meanwhile, Cantonment police said no FIR had so far been lodged on the complaint of Dr Fazalur Rehman.

Former PPP MPA Dr Javed Siddiqi said Dr Gardezi’s office was locked despite the fact the Lahore High Court had suspended the notification of Punjab government regarding the cancellation of his posting as executive director. He termed the Punjab government’s act discriminatory against the people of Seraiki belt, warning of a ‘massive protest campaign’ on the issue.

He demanded Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry should take suo motu action against health secretary and MS Dr Fazalur Rehman. Dawn
