KARACHI: Provincial Minister for Industries and Commerce and Anti-Corruption and Cooperative Department Jam Ikramullah Dharejo has strongly criticized the federal government’s policies on the current Coronavirus situation and has said that any suggestions made by Sindh to the federal government was rejected for nothing and Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah had already given suggestion to the federal government to close the borders.
Dharejo said in a statement that the Sindh government would try to avoid a complete lockdown because of the limited resources. “Lockdown is very difficult to deal with, but no compromise would be made on human lives.”
He said that if Coronavirus got into a more dangerous situation, the Sindh government will have the last option to impose complete lockdown. However, the need is that the federal government should take all the provinces into confidence over the Coronavirus situation.
The minister said that in our neighboring country India, everything was fine a few days ago, now the situation is in front of everyone. We need to learn from this situation and save our people. He said that ‘selected’ Prime Minister and his ministers have only spent time in making tall claims, but practically, they had done nothing.
‘Selected’ government has given nothing, but inflation and unemployment to the country and the people and if the Coronavirus is not taken seriously then the situation could be very frightening and out of control, he concluded.
