ISLAMABAD: Buzdar sarkar titled as “Wasim Akram plus” not by anyone other, but visionery prime minister, Imran Khan, has literally ruined the future of 50 thousands pharmacy students of the province as his government has not conducted exams for medical technicians since 2018.
Every year, more than15 thousands pharmacy students complete 2- year course of medical technician and they are required to appear in the exam to get it passed and make future as medical technicians to serve in the hospitals, but for the last three years the pharmacy students are waiting to appear in the exams which are not in sight. Punjab government’s indifference in this case is going to ruin future of 50 thousand pharmacy students, an organiser of a pharmacy collage told this correspondent on the condition of not to be named .
Soon after “winning” general elections in 2018, Imran Khan had picked- up Sardar Usman Buzdar from Tunsa Sharif to run Pakistan’s biggest province ( population- wise) with his unprecedented “wisdom and foresight” and match, if not surpass, Shahbaz Sharif’s performance as chief minister Punjab. Buzdar sahib, who in the first look appears barren by all senses, is yet to prove himself true to his political master even after wasting full three years of this nation that his choice as Chief minister Punjab was really good. The prime minister had prefered Buzdar sarkar over more than a dozen aspirants of his party for top slot of Punjab including one relative of his close buddy Zulfi from Attock, but his “Wasim Akram plus” remained a non-starter, but he, for sure, has emerged as a great spoiler of the future of young generation of the province by not holding exams of pharmacy students since taking over as chief executive of the Punjab. “Wasim Akram plus” did not bother to take notice in his three year tenure as chief minister that among many others it was his constitutional obligation to direct to the ministry of Specialised Healthcare and Medical Education to hold exams of the pharmacy students and let them make future by
becoming technicians to serve in different hospitals of the Punjab.
The Punjab government’ apathy in appointing a regular registrar of the provincial pharmacy council is sole reason of not holding exams of pharmacy students since 2018.
NEWSMAN tried to get point of view of Ahmad Javed Qazi , secretary Specialised Healthcare and Medical Education Punjab, to know as to who was responsible of ruining the future of 50 thousands pharmacy students of Punjab, but he did not comment on the questionaire sent to him even after a week.
