CJP orders probe into Tayyaba Zameer's son's death

SARGODHA: Chief Justice of Pakistan has ordered a probe into Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz MPA, Tayyaba Zameer’s son’s death, Geo News reported.

This heartening incident of justice on-the-go came to pass while Chief Justice of Pakistan, Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry was visiting Sargodha Bar.

According to reports, Tayyaba Zameer, showed up at the ceremony the CJ was attending and tried to approach him directly, but security intervened. When the CJ noticed her struggling to reach him, he ordered the cops to let her through. She then sat by his side and had a detailed word with him, the sources added.

MPA Zameer pleaded before the CJ that her son, Zil-e-Subhan, 27, had died in a hospital under mysterious circumstances and that she was sure he was killed.

After hearing her out, the CJ directed the authorities concerned to reopen the case and launch an in-depth investigation to find out as to what and who caused her son’s death.

In her entreaty she alleged that the doctors on duty then neglected her son to death, thus it was a murder.

The shocking revelation had come to surface back in June during the PA proceedings after Tayyaba Zameer, one of the most senior and loyal members of PML-N, on a point of order burst into tears while disclosing that her only son 27-year-old Zil-e-Subhan died in Ganga Ram Hospital, where he was shifted after the administration of Services Hospital refused to provide him with ventilator.

Tayyaba Zameer, who hails from Sargodha, said she was not the only mother who had undergone this turmoil as the doctors of Services and also Ganga Ram Hospitals were playing havoc with human lives and treating them as animals were treated in the slaughterhouses.

Disclosing further details, she said that her son was admitted in the Services Hospital for medical checkup but doctors did not cooperate with her despite knowing that his health was deteriorating.

She also said that when the health of her son further deteriorated and a ventilator was needed, she went to the administration and asked for it but she was refused and a doctor even said ‘is it a wooden box which we should hand over to you.’

Naming a doctor, Usman Cheema, she said this man not mishandled the case of her son but also misbehaved with her and used abusive language against her.

Tayyaba Zameer also told that later the patient was shifted to Ganga Ram Hospital where a team of doctors deliberately mishandled the case, which resulted in the death of her son, Subhan.

She said that it was a pity that even being an elected member of the House, she was unable to get justice and a calamity had befallen her in the form of the death of her only son.

“The way my son was slaughtered by doctors, it was highly painful experience for me, please take stern action against them to save others” said Tayyaba Zameer, who was weeping bitterly while appealing to the chair to take notice of this tragic occurrence.
