Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe in a Facebook comment took swipes at the doctors stating that the government did not recognise certain career paths to be more important than others.
“We do not recognise individuals to be more privileged than others, nor do we recognise a certain career path to be more important than another,” the Prime Minister said, in a statement posted on his official Facebook page yesterday.
“But what we do recognise is that our priority is towards the citizens of this nation, and we will continue to strive towards the provision of the best service so as to address and resolve problems faced in professions, and to achieve equal rights and opportunities in every career path,” he added.
The statement came after doctors launched a token strike, in three districts, demanding popular schools for their children.
