KARACHI: The Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) on Friday categorically rejected Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shahbaz Gill’s allegations that doctors doing politics over the coronavirus situation, requesting him to take back his words. The association requested Gill to take back his statement as it had injured the sentiments of the doctors’ community. On Thursday, Gill had claimed that PMA doctors had held their press conference at the behest of the PPP, the ruling party in Sindh. “It is unfortunate that after the Sindh government got tired of doing politics over the coronavirus issue, it pushed doctors from Sindh forward,” he said on Twitter. In the same tweet, the former Punjab spokesperson had requested the ‘few doctors’ from Punjab to not ‘politicise’ the issue.
