Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Ahmed Khan Buzdar said the provincial government took timely measures to counter the coronavirus pandemic and announced the best package to provide relief to daily wagers.
The CM Punjab maintained that coronavirus is not a problem of any single country, it is a global challenge yet the opposition is doing politics over this issue which is illogical and regrettable. “The opposition is only raising hollow slogans and has not taken any practical step. The nation needs unity and solidarity at the moment” he said.
“Prime Minister Imran Khan has always laid stress over the need to cooperate with one another. Pakistan’s debt can only be paid through mutual efforts and decisions” he said.
He regretted that opposition is politicising the national issue of coronavirus outbreak and added that the government has taken concrete steps to halt the spread of the deadly virus in the country. Buzdar said the opposition parties are not doing anything piratical rather than turning the canons of criticism towards the incumbent government.
Earlier, Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar had directed to undertake all necessary measures to bring stability in the prices of essential edibles, including flour.
He had directed Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners to launch crackdown on hoarders and illegal profiteers and take indiscriminate stern action against them.
The chief minister asserted that all administrative powers should be exercised to ensure the provision of essential items to the people at fixed rates.
