GULISTAN: Spokesperson of Sindh Government and Advisor for Law, Environment and Coastal Development Barrister Murtaza Wahab has said that yesterday Sindh Chief Minister was apprised of the latest situation of Corona virus and appealed for cooperation from all political and religious parties including citizens.
After the meeting of the Task Force, the Sindh Chief Minister had also talked to the Federal Minister Asad Umar and Dr. Faisal Sultan in which it was decided that a notification would be issued by the NCOC but after the announcement of the lockdown, the federal government’ spokesperson objected, saying it was not the prerogative of the Sindh government.
He expressed these views while addressing a press conference at the Chief Minister’s House here today. He said that Sindh government shared the draft notification regarding lockdown with NCOC and we had not spoken orally but in writing.
During the press conference, Barrister Murtaza Wahab also showed the documents shared with the NCOC. He also said that the federal government had objected to the ban on inter-provincial transport on which the Sindh government had issued an amendment notification.
He further said that the NCOC did not say anywhere that lockdown should not be imposed. We try to negotiate with the federal government, but unfortunately when these people come on television, their position is different. “I request that this issue not be brought up in the political arena. We have to save our people from this deadly epidemic,” he said.
“I urge the narrators to persuade the people instead of making statements and not to create chaos. When the Buzdar government imposed the lockdown, they did not object and we did not criticize because we know the seriousness of the corona virus and the situation in Lahore is better known to Usman Buzdar. People in Islamabad are not aware of the seriousness of Karachi.
He added that private hospitals were full and government hospitals were gradually filling up. This was not the job of politicians but of medical experts. Please pay attention to the words of medical experts. The medical experts of the task force said that our doctors are tired and the doctors are getting infected with the virus. It was decided that the SIM of the mobile phone would be blocked, after which the vaccination has increased tremendously in the last four days.
