Professor Madam Aftab at SANA Convention Medical Symposium.

The evils in Medical Profession

Salaam,

Dear Dr. Mirza, The information of such a lecturer on payroll of the Faculty of Social Medicine and Preventive Health at LUMHS is 1000 percent correct. Dr. Fouzia Soomro is the sister of Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister, Advocate Ayaz Ahmed Soomro, MPA PS 46, Larkana.

It’s really a shame how pathetic and miserable PPP ministers AND MPAs are performing in terms of corruption, kickbacks, and lateral entry illegal recruitments of their families and kinsmen.

The saddest part of this story about this minister is that he is one of the lower middle class cadres of party workers who were brought to the forefront by Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto. He rose up the party ranks from a worker and president of Larkana Bar Association and all the way to the top where he currently is. Now this is the way the people who we consider “Middle Class Sindhi Qayaadat”, and for which we yearn for as Sindhi Qaum behave. If this is what such ideologically oriented Sindhi leaders would do when they gain power then why should we blame the old Jagirdaari feudal Waderaa of Sindh for usurping and plundering our land, our wealth, our resources, and our jobs?

Similar to what he has done in this case, this gentleman has also pulled his strings for his brother to get him transferred and then absorbed in the Police Services of Pakistan (PSP) as a DSP from the post of Assistant Director in the now defunct NAB (National Accountability Bureau).

Now coming to the problem at hand, the fault lines also lie within us and our institution. The question is why we are so weak morally, legally and ethically when it comes to standing up to such corrupt and third rate ministers and MPAs. Why doesn’t anyone of our Vice Chancellor’s stand up and fight back for running his institution right?

Chief Justice Mohammad Iftikhar Chaudhry has made it happen in front of our own eyes in this age and time. Remember that according to President Woodrow Wilson, “it takes only one man clad up in the armor of righteousness to humble all evils across the land”. But alas, our Sindhi nation is intellectually and politically so infertile now that the nations and ethnic groups we used to consider “His Master’s Voices” and “Saamraaj jaa Pitthoo” during the first 40 years of Pakistan’s creation are now leading the struggles for peoples rights and justice.

The answer is multifaceted and complex to our above question;

1. Generally speaking, the professors and academicians that get promoted to such posts are not made up of the moral fiber that is required to deal with such nasty elements. They budge at the first sign of pressure or threat to their thrones of power and fiefdoms that they run on our campuses. They are so unnerved by the sounds or sightings of provincial ministers and federal secretaries that they even forget to breathe.

2. The likes of Allama I.I. Kazi, who could refuse Field Marshal Mohammad Ayub Khan a personal meeting at Hyderabad’s circuit house back in 67, are now extinct. Now we just have intellectual pygmies running all over the land.

3. For some weird and sorry reason, there is no teacher’s association made up at our alma mater to keep such irregularities in check. One possible reason for this tragedy is the fact that physicians, of all the other existent teachers’ communities present at Sindh, Mehran, and Agriculture Universities are least interested in defending and fighting for their own and their institution’s rights. Call it their intense desire to mint money in Saddar’s famous Doctor Bazaar or their lack of intellectual reading or their extremely self centered worldview, physician/doctor academia is the most inactive and insensitive community I have ever seen in Hyderabad and the remaining interior Sindh.

4. Our honorable current Vice Chancellor is himself a political appointment to the core. He neither has the credentials nor the stature of being placed as the head of such an august institution as Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences. All we know about him is that he has remained the MS of Civil Hospital Karachi and then following Dr. Shafi Qureshi, he also served as the provincial secretary of health of Sindh. During his above mentioned two assignments he was literally a broker and agent for the thugs of MQM. That’s where his source of power stems from and thats how he got this prestigious post of VC LUMHS. With this background, anyone who expects this guy to deliver the goods and prove his metal in the best interest of our alma mater is perhaps living in a fool’s paradise.

5. The current VC Sahab is the silent looter; the master of political appointments with appointment of dozens of MQM recommended Mohajir lecturers and lower grades employees to his credit. The stories of his financial and moral corruption are rampant on the campus, albeit in a very low voice and slow tone as everyone is scared of retribution by him, as he is notoriously vindictive and revenge seeking. The man is extremely fickle and cheap as is demonstrated by the motorcade he uses to escort him from the administrative secretariat to the Foreign Faculty Hostel/Rest house, which is currently serving as his residence while they construct a palatial multimillion rupees VC house for Saeen Jin.

6. His biggest fear is being ousted by the current PPP government as they regard him a relic of the Musharraf era with strong links to MQM. Thus, he has to succumb to PPP pressures as well every now and then. It’s all good for our current ruling “JANTA” comprising of both PPP and MQM.

These were just snapshots of the personalities we are relying upon to safeguard the interests of our nation and its future.

As far as Professor Khoharo and the writing he produced in response to Saeen Ursani Sahabs query is concerned, Sir you should be ashamed of yourself and perhaps should unsubscribe now yourself if you have a shred of any honor or dignity left in you, because I for one will hit the delete icon as soon as I see your name on any posting of absmn. It’s because of people like you that the institutions all over Pakistan consider us the Liaquatians,

Savage beasts from interior Sindh.

Your words and behavior against such a refine, polite, and sophisticated person have truly hurt me and innumerable other member on this forum and I would expect the moderators to do something about this aggravation.

P.S:- I am sure that there would be many of the kings’ men and horses on this noble forum condemning me and cursing me for not respecting authority and that I have misrepresented the real “Sarkaari” truth that only they can offer under oath, so for all of them, I am ready to face your blaze of fury.

Thank you

Dear Dr. Mirza,

This is my third post during the day, and that’s a little too much activity on my part, but I just want to make you understand that when we toil on our computers to give you elders some perspective and picture of current LUMHS, it is not for you to read it like a morning paper and just do some "Zabaani Jama Kharch".
All this is done in the hope that some of our seniors like you would take the fight to the next level. The level, which we may not be able to achieve given our educational, financial and training related liabilities and obligations.
Saying that this is not only a matter of one Dr. Fouzia Soomro and that we should address some other hidden root cause is just lame and clumsy. What other secret, hidden, extraordinary truth are you searching for? It’s just a plain and simple “override of procedure” and merit sort of illegal appointment and that’s it.
Now if someone can file a petition or a lawsuit against it or further run a strong media campaign against this mockery of our Alma Mater, then he or she must act now, otherwise at least don’t say that it’s not just a matter of this one Dr. Fouzia. It just justifies what these people are doing to the system. She in fact should be the first one to be terminated with immediate effect so as to teach other offenders a lesson for all times to come.

I have got some other names of such political appointees and also of some very powerful people’s sons, daughters, and a notorious daughter in law who has been sent for PHD to UK. One of these “STAR” students who happen to be the niece of Director of Postgraduate Medical Education has been kicked out of Queens Marry College, London, for her extremely abrasive behaviors and incompetence after eating off of our institution’s money sanctioned for higher medical education. What about those 10,000 sterling pounds? Dr. Sadia Shujjauddin Siddqui, niece of Dr. Khalique Ahmad Siddiqui (Chief of Orthopedic Surgery at LUMHS and Director of Postgaduate Study Programs) got away with it pretty easy and is now registered as a dual FCPS and MD (Medicine) candidate under the supervision of Dr. Shoaib Ansari in Medical Unit 1 in city campus. Another violation of rules. No candidate could be registered in two degree programs at the same time.

On the flip side, I am highly skeptical of the capabilities of any one of those 20 STAR kids of LUMHS when it comes to successful completion of their PhDs in Genetics, Cell and Molecular Biology and Tumor oncogensis and Neuro biology. It’s been 3 years already and we don’t know whether these politically selected superstar young “Doggie Howsers” are performing up to the mark in UK or not. At least I have never heard an evaluation on them by any of the departmental chiefs.

I won’t take any names here as it isn’t going to do no good and such people will always get away with what they want anyway. However if any of our honorable members wants to do something serious and proactive in this regard, I can provide him/her this information at their private emails. Just write to me.

Thanks

Dr. Naseer Khoso
