As news of Haider's murder spread, doctors held a protest outside Lahore General Hospital and demanded the government arrest the killers. Haider worked at Lahore General Hospital and was the son-in-law of Iftikhar Raja, former principal of the King Edward Medical College. Zahid Hussain, an official of Lahore General Hospital, said a strike would be observed in the facility tomorrow to protest the killing. Emergency services would not be affected, he said. In a separate development, a large number of Shias, including women and children, today refused to end their sit-in outside Governor's House in Lahore against the killing of Shia Hazaras in Quetta. They said their protest would continue till security in Quetta was handed over to the army.
