woman gives birth in rickshaw: President Protocol Responsible
after giving birth to her baby on an auto rickshaw
The woman was being driven to hospital in the city of Quetta on Thursday ( 25th Feb 2010) evening when police blocked roads for Zardari and his convoy to pass.
The woman’s brother Mohammad Yaseen said the rickshaw he had hired to take his sister to the Civil Hospital was stopped by policemen near the Askari Park.
“We waited for around two hours.And requested Policemen again despite repeated requests the policemen did not allow us to go to the hospital. We pleaded with the policemen as it was an emergency but they refused citing orders that no one should be allowed to move until the president passed.The baby was born in the rickshaw, surrounded by vehicles stuck in the traffic jam. At that time police officials allowed us to return.It’s outrageous. People suffer unduly whenever a top government official moves”. Woman’s brother Mohammad Yaseen said.
Taking notice of the incident, Chief Minister of Balochistan Nawab Aslam Raisani has ordered an inquiry into the matter.Both the mother and the baby, who had yet to be named, were doing well.
Zardari was upset by the incident and had ordered an inquiry, the state-run APP news agency reported.
“Alternative routes must be provided to ensure that the people do not suffer,” APP cited him as saying.
