The protestors, who were holding placards and banners, chanted slogans for early recovery of the kidnapped doctors. Professor Junaid Ashraf in his address to the media said that the incidents of kidnapping had caused a great unrest and insecurity among the doctors' community.
"Doctors cannot work in an environment of insecurity and now many doctors are leaving the country," he added. Professor Ashraf said that the entire medical community was united for the protection and safety of doctors, paramedics and nurses in the country. He requested the government and law enforcement agencies to take prompt action to recover the kidnapped doctors and assure safety of other working doctors.
