This thread has 14 pages written on discussion on this issue. Most people here and other online media are of the opinion in favor of goverment.. same discredited goverment that no one trusts.
The reason here is actually the power of electronic media, i.e. TV channels in Pakistan. They make black into white, and white into black. They have successfully diverted the attention of people from original issue lingering from last year with Punjab goverment not keeping their word. People die everyday in govt hospitals for inadiquate facilities or lack of doctors, or many people daily commit suicide for not being able to afford a good life in Pakistan. But this doesnt interest media because there is no motive in it. They have used every single death in any Pakistani hospital since the strike started to use against the strikes, regardless whether actually those patients died due to strike or another reason.
Well,, thats the reason they earn fortunes. It is not without reason that Malik Riaz gives villas to TV anchors, or Nawaz Sharif celebrates Hamir Mir's birthday in his Murree's house, or many others that i dont know about. They are infact nearly gods out there who can manipulate the large masses.
And against this mafia were trying to get a bunch of emotional youngmen whose were, like most youth against them, driven by emotions rather a working mind that could have gotten them something. In beginning should have gotten the media on their side by whatever means, by bribing them or whatever if they wanted to achieve out of Punjab govts pocket.
I dont think the Drs gonna get what they want, the govt achieved what they wanted, i.e. get the public on their side for not giving any relief to these Drs. And thats the key to success of Govt there right now, i.e. get media on your side, rather doing any service to people. My empathy to all those suffered in all this issue starting from poor patients to humiliated Drs. If I were such a dr. I wont indulge in any of such strikes bull$hit, i would rather look abroad, there plenty of places in world where work is better rewarded and people are given respect for what they do.
No one is favoring government, what we condemn is the way doctors went on strike leaving behind dying patients, there could have been other means of recording their greviences. They should have realistic demands considering their contemporaries in other fields, in given political and economic situation. I don't want to give least importance to government's role by discussing it. There is question for both government and doctors, why this is a problem in Punjab and not in other provinces? As far as I know Punjab is offering a little better package than other provinces, if still there is problem in Punjab only than there is something seriously wrong with government and doctors both.
