POLITICIZATION OF CORONA CHALLENGE IS DEPLORABLE: USMAN BUZDAR

LAHORE, April 26:

Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar has regretted that the opposition is using the corona challenge for its political gains.

In a statement, the CM asserted that every effort was made by the government to deal with the third corona wave adding that the number of ventilators and oxygen beds has been increased in the hospitals to facilitate the patients. Regrettably, the opposition is trying to achieve mundane political mileage over the corona issue, he added. However, those distancing the people in the corona pandemic have been isolated, he added. The CM regretted the PDM had busted a gut to spread coronavirus by holding public meetings during the pandemic. This selfish cabal played with the lives of the people to gain some political benefits; this proves the impassive opposition has no regard for the lives of the people. Those who did not care for the health and safety of the people, during the pandemic, have become a symbol of disgrace; concluded the CM.
