LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Friday extended the suspension of a Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) directive for Afghan medical students to return to their home country after lawyers of the varsity and PMDC sought more time to submit their replies.
The court allowed the requests and adjourned the hearing for a date to be fixed later. The court also asked the petitioners’ counsel to convince the court on the maintainability of the pleas, keeping in view Pakistan’s current foreign policy.
A number of Afghan medical students had approached the court against a directive directing the students enrolled in Pakistani colleges to return to Afghanistan.
