The Jamaat-e-Islami has joined other political parties, like PPP and PML-Q, in blaming Punjab chief minister for the deaths caused by contaminated medicine, which were provided by the Punjab Institute of Cardiology .
The party slammed Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz government for its alleged negligence and has demanded the resignation of Shahbaz Sharif on the grounds that he holds the portfolio of Punjab’s Health Ministry. JI Punjab General Secretary Nazir Ahmed Janjua expressed his deep sorrow over the deaths of dozens of people at PIC.
He held Punjab chief minister responsible for the deaths and said stern action should be taken against those responsible so that such incidents never happen again.
Janjua said the government should ban the sale of heart medicines like Cardiovestin, Isotab, Corcont, Zafnol and Solprin in the interest of public safety and destroy all available stock of these medicines. He said three Lahore-based pharmaceutical companies are supplying substandard medicine to Punjab hospitals and medicals stores are selling these medicines without any record.
Janjua said cash assistance of Rs 1 million should be given to each victim’s family while Rs 0.5 million compensation should be given to the patients who suffered medicine reaction and that the government should bear the expenses for their treatment.
