LAHORE - Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar has said that “Corona Politics” of opposition leaders will not work now.
“First, opposition did politics to promote business and now they are playing political-gamic over corona issue. He said 22 crore people have been fed up from the negative politics of the dual face politicians. Pakistani nation will not forgive those who are politicizing corona pandemic”, he said in a statement issued here on Wednesday. Buzdar said that attitude of opposition leaders was like “Pot Calling the Kettle Black”.
He said that those who were making tall claims have been exposed in front of people. He said that opposition parties had displayed non-serious attitude even in the extraordinary circumstances. “Despite emergency, opposition leaders have tried to serve their self-interests. Time has proved that government took timely decisions under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Farsighted initiatives of government helped a lot to deal with this situation”, he remarked, adding that government had to stop the spread of coronavirus as well as safeguard the people from the poverty and hunger. He said those doing the criticism for the sake of criticism were totally unaware about the ground realities.
He alleged that Opposition leaders, despite corona pandemic, made a vicious attempt to destroy national solidarity.
He alleged that the opposition harmed the national interests for the personal gain. Opposition’s attempt to divide the nation in this time of trail is highly condemnable. Buzdar said that the opposition leaders have made a new record of lip serving on corona pandemic and their practical performance remained zero.
Government has adopted a comprehensive and effective strategy to deal with coronavirus. Prime Minister Imran Khan without wasting time took decisions with consultation. Opposition just created hue and cry and did nothing for the people. He said that the leadership of PTI understands the sufferings and pain of poor people. Opposition should know that this important time is not for point scoring but time to remain unite.
