Lahore: Punjab Governor Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar has said that opposition is hurting national solidarity in the war against corona pandemic by resorting to political stunts that is not the right way to approach such a serious issue. This is not politics time but the time to forge unity in the country. 300,000 families are being provided ration through Punjab Development Network and those lost their wages/jobs due to corona crisis will not be left alone at any cost. We are standing with them. Welfare organizations are playing their active role in this time of trial. He was talking to media here on the occasion of dispatching ration packages by Sarwar Foundation’s Vice Chairperson Begum Perveen Sarwar for 10,000 poor families of Toba Tek Singh on Sunday. MNA Riaz Fatiyana, FIEDMC Chairman Mian Kashif Ashfaq, PTI Central Member Haji Muhammad Ramzan, Punjab government’s spokesman Raja Asad, MPA Saeed Ahmed Saadi and others were also present.
Punjab Governor Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar said that war against corona is not the war of an individual or party but of 22 million Pakistanis therefore opposition parties should shun the policy of doing politics over corona crisis rather show unity and solidarity in this regard. In Sha Allah, together we all have to succeed in fighting out corona pandemic. He said that under leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan, the federal government has given biggest relief package in country’s history, while all the deserving families are being provided relief goods and financial support transparently and without any political discrimination through Ehsas Programme. In Sha Allah, no poor family will be deprived of this relief and fiscal assistance.
Speaking on the occasion, Begum Perveen Sarwar said, there is no doubt in it that corona pandemic has put even prosperous and developed countries including America in a fix. And it is necessary for people to stay homes instead of taking to streets without any purpose so as to prevent corona. In the first phase, we are providing ration to 10,000 families whose wages affected in the prevailing situation, and more ration will also be provided in coming days. In addition, public hospitals are also being provided masks and other equipment. There is no dearth of philanthropists in Pakistan and when put in joint efforts, no poor family will face starvation.
