Opposition assails Punjab govt over PIC deaths

Opposition in Punjab Assembly on Tuesday showed their resentment over the deaths allegedly caused by the reaction of drugs prescribed by Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC).
Speaking during the Punjab Assembly session, Pakistan Peoples Party’s deputy parliamentary leader Shaukat Basra questioned responsibility of the deaths.
The PPP leader wondered why Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, who also holds the portfolio of health ministry, was not present in the assembly to address the issue.
PML-Q’s member of provincial assembly Samina Khawar Hayat demanded resignation of the chief minister. She, in addition, also demanded to register a criminal case against him.
Members of opposition and treasury benches started chanting slogans against each other after Hayat’s demands.
