The staffers have to either recite verses from the Holy Quran or be marked absent for the day.... The administration of a government- run hospital here forces its non-Muslim staffers to either recite verses from the Holy Quran at morning assembly or be marked absent for the day, a Pakistan media report said today. Following the incident, all paramedical staff protested against the superintendent and other hospital administration by shutting down all functions of the medical facility. "This act of the MS is a violation of the Constitution of Pakistan," a Christian paramedical staffer, Marshal, was quoted as saying by the paper. He asked religious scholars to sort out the issue as the hospital administration was pressurising them to leave their jobs.
