Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar has said the Opposition tried to exploit the situation in the wake of the corona pandemic and dengue.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the CM said the government has taken timely and far-sighted decisions to deal with Corona and its successful strategy has helped to overcome the spread of coronavirus in Pakistan as compared to other countries. Pakistan’s effective measures have been lauded internationally, he said, adding that opposition parties had undermined national unity through the spate of negative politics.
The opposition is only an expert in rhetoric and propaganda, he regretted and added that point scoring on every issue is their only goal. The opposition could only sit in the drawing-room and make tall claims, he argued. They neither have any courage to resign nor to hold the march. They wouldn’t get anything as people are also fed up with the continuous claims of resignations and long marches, the CM concluded.
The chief minister showed his concern over the increase in Corona cases and asked the citizens to adopt precautionary measures for their safety. Citizens should follow SOPs and ensure the protection of their lives, he stressed. Citizens should vaccinate themselves and use facemasks for safety from this virus, he concluded.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar has expressed his best wishes for the teams taking part in the Pakistan Super League 7.
In a statement, the CM congratulated the players participating in the PSL-7 and stated that whichever team wins, the victory will be for peaceful Pakistan.
The people of Pakistan love sports especially cricket, he stated. The best arrangements would be made for the matches to be played in Lahore and foolproof security would be ensured. Cricket fans will have the opportunity to enjoy the sports in a peaceful atmosphere, he concluded.
