The doctors' community in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region has condemned the  attack by a violent mob allegedly led by Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) MPA Nighat Orakzai on the Hayatabad Medical Complex (HMC) in Peshawar region of the country recently.

The doctors accused the woman lawmaker and others of harassing healthcare providers and using foul language against them, reports The News International.

The doctors even warned to suspend all services from Monday if the government didn’t arrest the female legislator and other accomplices, IBNS said 

The medical practitioners even asked the government to  lodge FIR against MPA Nighat Orakzai and other culprits under the security act.

Meanwhile, following the development, Chief Minister Mahmood Khan had taken notice of the incident and directed provincial police officer Sanaullah Abbasi to submit a report to him within 10 hours.

“I will ensure the security of the healthcare providers and will not spare anyone no matter how influential they might be if they tried to sabotage the peaceful environment of our province,” the chief minister stated in a statement.
