ISLAMABAD: Opposition leader in Senate Raja Zafar ul Haq has said that Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan had tried to divide the nation by saying that elites imposed lockdown in the country.
While addressing the Senate session, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader asserted that hatred is being promoted against opposition parties. The government’s attitude in the current situation remained ineffective, he
added.
The incumbent government of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) should have developed harmony and unity among the political parties in the fight against coronavirus, he said.
Initiating discussion in Senate, Leader of Opposition Raja Zafar ul Haq said the federal and provincial governments should be on the same page to contain the spread of Coronavirus.
He opposed relaxation in lockdown saying it has led to an increase in Covid-19 cases.
The opposition leader stated that the Sindh government was being portrayed as an enemy of the country.
The opposition leader also expressed concerns over the oppression unleashed by the Modi-led Indian government in occupied Jammu and Kashmir and the massacre of Muslims in India.
He said lockdown is in place in occupied Jammu and Kashmir since August last year and the people there have no access to medical supplies and treatment.
Earlier, at the outset of the upper house, the house offered fateha for those who died due to coronavirus and the soldiers martyred in recent Kech attack.
