Deputy Prime Minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Q senior leader Chaudhry Parvez Elahi has said that N-League should not make Imran Khan's Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital target of its political victimisation. Elahi said here on Thursday that targeting a hospital for political vengeance was highly deplorable and the greatest moral degradation on the part of N-League.
He said politicking against most modern hospital rendering great services to the cancer patients was highly condemnable and worst example of resorting to such low level tactics and grave violation of moral and social values. Elahi said Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital was a non-political welfare institution rendering healthcare services to the people where millions of cancer patients are provided most modern treatment and highest standard of facilities and deserving patients were even treated free.
He said N-League campaign of allegations against Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital perhaps might not harmful to Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaaf Chief Imran Khan but would certainly cause irreparable loss to the cancer patients from all over the country in particular the deserving poor patients who were treated free of charges.
He asked the N-League leadership to discard such low and negative tactics, and said the mishandling of the hospitals and the patients in the Punjab deteriorated situation in the government hospital due to their faulty policies and the bad treatment being meted out to the patients and the doctors were very sad reflection on their tall claims of "rendering of services to the people."
He further said that if a welfare institution was rendering such invaluable services to the cancer patients, it should not be stopped from working and vengeance of political opposition of its founder should not be taken from the most modern and the greatest cancer hospital.
