PM guilty of increase in coronavirus spread: Sherry Rehman

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Senator Sherry Rehman has said that Prime Minister Imran Khan has admitted his guilt by acknowledging his role in ending the lockdown.

Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Vice President Senator Sherry Rehman, responding to the Prime Minister’s address, said that no assistance, other than BISP, was given by any organization and asked PM Imran where the aid money from international donors has gone.

Sherry Rehman said that if Imran Khan is so concerned about helping the poor, why was the BISP fund not increased in the FY 2020-21 Budget? She said that despite the worsening coronavirus situation, the PM is still confused and unable to make the right decisions.

She said that instead of giving the examples of India and USA, Imran Khan should first explain why Pakistan’s recovery rate from the virus is so low. She said that the PM, who sits comfortably in his Bani Gala mansion while others suffer in lockdown, should care for the poor who are dying due to his policies.

Sherry Rehman said that Prime Minister Imran Khan has actually confessed to his crimes by acknowledging his role in ending the lockdown and thus, increasing the spread of the virus. If there are more deaths due to his government’s relaxations, only he will be answerable to the public.
