Srinagar, Aug 13: The Jammu and Kashmir government on
Monday reinstated the services of DAK President Dr Nisar ul
Hassan, four years after he was placed under suspension for raising
voice against fake drug perpetrators.
“State government has revoked the suspension of Dr Nisar ul
Hassan” said Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) today in a
communiqué.
An order no, 465-HME of 2018 dated 13-08-18 was issued in this
regard by the Under Secretary to Government Nissar Ahmad Wani.
“Dr Nisar ul Hassan Assistant Professor, Department of Medicine,
Government Medical College, Srinagar is hereby reinstated,” reads
the order.
Dr Nisar was suspended in May 2014 for unearthing a big spurious
drug scandal in Kashmir valley due to which many precious lives
were lost.
The decision had sparked widespread outrage and criticism within
the medical fraternity.
“I am happy to get back to work. I feel elated that my long-drawn
struggle for justice has finally born result. I thank all those who
stood by me all these years,” said DAK President Dr Nisar ul
Hassan.
“I was victimized for highlighting the illegal trade of spurious
drugs in which some higher ups were involved.”
“My endeavors in this connection should have been applauded, but
instead false and frivolous cases were fabricated against me. I had
to face insinuation, scorn and derision for raising voice against
grave crimes committed on the society.”
“It is an inherent right of a citizen to inform and sensitize the
general masses of people about the insidious machination of the
powers that be,” said Dr Nisar.
