| 2003-02-09 |
| Senior Minister NWFP Mr. Sirajul Haq has said that medical profession is a sacred job and advised the doctors community not to make it a means to their economic prosperity rather they should consider it as a means to win the approval of Allah Almighty. Money is so crass, isn't it? And people who have it always seem to piss it away on things like groceries. Better just be be a good Islamist and pray and read the Koran, and let the holy men and politicians worry about the money... This he said while addressing the convocation of Khyber Medical college at Peshawar University on Saturday. Staff and students of the college, parents and medical graduates of the academic session 1999 and 2000 were also present on the occasion. "You've worked hard to become physicians. You should be proud of your accomplishments. We just don't want to pay you." Mr. Sirajul Haq said that the relation between a doctor and a patient was based on love for humanity and those who served humanity was the best of human beings. He urged the doctors to deal patients with affection in order to reduce their sufferings. He said that we as a nation were confronted with many challenges as imperialistic courses wanted to destroy us. "That's why we don't want to pay you. We need the money to fight imperialists." |
