Pakistan facing economic challenge due to corona crisis: governor

Updated 29 Jun, 2020

LAHORE: Punjab Governor Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar has said that the opposition parties want to call an anti-government APC to fulfill their aspirations.

He was talking to delegations led by Syed Yawar Abbas Shah, MPA of Tehreek-e-Insaf, Majboob Ahmed, President Pak-Portugal Association, Chaudhry Ghulam Ghous of Tehreek-e-Kashmir Europe and others at Governor House Lahore on Sunday.

The governor also assured the delegation to take up the issue of restoration of Portuguese embassy and visa section in Pakistan with the Foreign Minister. Talking to the delegations, the governor said that the policies of the opposition are a political threat to themselves because their agenda is not the public interest but the protection of personal interests which the people have already rejected.

He said that the nation is still suffering the consequences of the corrupt and poor policies of the rulers of the past. He said that Pakistan was facing economic challenge due to Corona crisis but despite this the federal and Punjab governments have given tax free budgets to the people and still the government is trying to give more to the people.

The governor said that the threat of corona has not been averted yet. There is a danger of further intensification in July so the people should make the preventive measures more effective to prevent this virus in the coming days.
