Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) students protesting on the streets of D-Chowk against the system are facing arrests by the Police in Islamabad.
According to reports, students are protesting against MDCAT at D-Chowk of Islamabad and students, while chanting slogans against Pakistan Medical Commission (PMC). They were holding banners and placards with slogans against PMC. Meanwhile, the students have demanded re-appointment of MDCAT.
The protesting students said that the policies of PMC were against the ethics. They also told the media:
“We expressed our concerns outside PMC for the first two days. Now we have gathered in D-Chowk today to protest. We will protest peacefully.”
