Shershah Syed Quotes


Our protest has one aim: to guarantee security for all citizens. Doctors as citizens are more vulnerable to terrorist attacks. We are not politicizing the issue. We are just drawing the government's attention to its primary duty. It should protect the lives of the citizens.


Context

In the recent years almost 300 physicians had been murdered by Muslim Sunni Fundamentalist Extremists, and the government had done little to protect them. See {591407} for a protest demonstration on the subject.
