A Sacrifice of Dharna, An inside story on Insaf Doctors Forum Written by Dr. Ehsen Naveed, President Insaf Doctors Forum With faith, discipline and selfless devotion to duty, there is nothing worthwhile that you cannot achieve. Muhammad Ali Jinnah In the world record of struggle against injustice & rigging done to PTI candidates at Dharna role of doctors can never be denied & our services will remain in hearts and minds of thousands Pakistanis we helped at Dharna which gave birth to a new chapter in worlds history a struggle by Imran Khan lead PTI known as Azadi March which is the best example which prove how stand against injustice brought a nation together & made our PTI Family come closer with a message that PTI will make PTI win INSHALLAH. It started on the 14th of August with passion & we paused our never ending struggling based on our selfless sacrifice after what terrorists did to our innocent children of APS Peshawar. Before 14th August I was ready to fly abroad to attain my specialization but on call of Imran Khan, I sacrificed by academic life by postponing it because Pakistan needed my services for a better future. During the coldest nights we as dharna participants started with thousands & were also left as less as 120 in number at total but due to our determination, perseverance & honesty with the cause of election process reforms for the best future for Pakistan on 30th of November more than a million people honored us by participating at a national rally lead by Imran Khan & PTI at Islamabad Azadi Square. On 14th August I started my journey from Hazara at 1 PM, hailing from a badly earthquake & flood affected area, hopeful at heart we reached Islamabad along with KPK, spent the 1st unforgettable night on the green belt of Kashmir Highway waiting for the presence of Imran Khan lead gathering of Pakistanis. Having our cell phones battery dead & no connectivity away from home & beloveds after decisive move of entering the red zone by us, against all human rights acts vandalism was done by police who straightly fired bullets & shells on the ladies, children & innocent peaceful protestors which left many dead critical, displaced, injured them physically & left many paralyzed for the rest of their lives, there then we as doctors from Insaf Doctors Forum effort in saving their lives & ALLAH gave SHIFA where we treated patients selflessly, initially even for me it was almost impossible to seek an appointment with Imran Khan & with colleagues from PTI, due to what police did to the innocent participants. Later after the dust of agony settled patients hesitantly left PIMS & Poly clinic to avoid further torture of being arrested as police was even forced to arrest the injured in the hospital, hundreds of injured patients left hospitals and shifted to Azadi Square there then we decided to establish Azadi Medical camp by the efforts of the PTI Leadership women wing, isf, youth, social media & concerned Pakistanis about Dharna participants some provided us food, some shelter some water many came and encouraged my selfless team of doctors from all corners of Pakistan which made us treat above 30,000 total patients since day 1 till end of dharna without expectation of any reward or credit, leave dharna participants aside, even the police, the government office bearers from National Assembly & redzone residents of Islamabad came & we treated them with respect curing their pain. The most memorable incident is the services we gave while 2 ladies gave birth to babies during this dharna at the medical camp. I can never forget the wonderful nights of service when Imran Khan was determined to stay inside the container & I was called to check his medical vitals, WALLAH ! His pulse beats like a 30 year old young having a stable blood pressure at any situation he faces ! Can not forget 1 of our participants Shan whose legs were fractured by police torture, young child Waseemullah who was forced to stay inside Dharna with his father having fear to go out to be arrested by police & during this his kidneys failed, ALLHAMDOLILLAH both among hundreds other with the help of Pakistanis were treated & facilitated by us and are given a new hope to live now. As the days & nights passed due to the affects of high rate of unemployment, scarce need of education, hunger, crime, poverty and corruption which lead people to a state of immense embarrassment of being a Pakistani the nation called us to outreach to cities when Imran Khan lead PTI showed public strength of Pakistanis at Multan, Sargodha, Gujrat, Lahore, Larkana, Karachi & other cities my team from insaf doctors from from Punjab & Sindh actively served hundreds of participants inside the dharna by establishing Azadi Medical Camps inside the Jalsas we even treated police who got injured during their movement inside and outside without any discrimination. Tragically it was Faisalabad lockdown when young about to be married Haqnawaz was shot by opponents by firing straight bullet in his heart, the worst pain I got was when he passed away in my hands after reciting Kalima & to my surprise GO NAWAZ GO were his last words, this showed the level of trust in Imran Khan by our poor worker who loves the struggle more than his life. The need of medical camps started after Multan where our workers died due to lack of medical facility by Punjab government & then I convinced Imran Khan & leadership that the health of our participants matter the most so even at jalsas at lockdowns at Karachi & Lahore I salute my teams from IDF SINDH & Punjab actively served by establishing medical camps ready to counter any medical situation while IDF Islamabad, Balochistan & KP sacrificed their job & everything along with me & served the nation during all these days till the 30th of November the next day when I was born, where a million people loved being at Azadi square making us stand tall. Today due to sad incident which took lives of innocent children after terror attack in Peshawar, crippled with anger & heart broken by the incident of Peshawar I was there with IDF KP where together we helped save lives of our innocent children & victims of APS Peshawar and we have started further rehabilitation for their better future while IDF in SINDH & Punjab have started medical relief for the flood affected families of THAR & Southern Punjab. The struggle will continue & we will come strong if the judicial commission is not made according to what will give us justice. What Imran Khan our parliamentarians, PTI, the celebrities attached to this cause taught us in all these wonderful 126 days & nights is to always speak the truth, to resolve our conflicts, to unite a family, to look after each others back, to be determined, be honest & aim your goals, like our goal was to help cure the injured we succeeded in shouldering this movement & what was meant for 126 has changed us forever by making us serve humanity without the discrimination of country class color or creed by honoring Pakistan historically & what love & support I achieved in these 126 I would have never achieved it by staying at home & not by being actively involved.
