Chairman Pakistan People’s Party Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that doctors bravely fighting Covid-19 pandemic are our national heroes and the Sindh government will announce a special package for them similar to the one given to the brave soldiers fighting against terrorism.
He expressed these views while addressing the People’s Doctors Forum office-bearers at Bilawal House, Karachi, through video link on Tuesday.
People’s Doctors Forum President Dr Karim Khawaja, Punjab President Dr Khayyam Hafeez, Dr Javed Iqbal and Dr Arsalan Dewan, Sindh President Dr Razzaq Sheikh, Dr Yar Ali Jamali, KP President Dr Nisar Ahmad Khan and Dr Dawood Iqbal, Dr Ashiq Hussain Shah and Afzal Abro and others participated.
Bilawal Bhutto said that the non-arrival of the federal government’s economic bailout package reduced the effectiveness of the lockdown and further spread the Covid-19 outbreak.
He said that the federal governments all over the world have given such relief packages but ours has given nothing except continuing the Benazir Income Support Program funding started by PPP, he slammed.
The PPP Chairman said he had been talking about giving relief package not only to Sindh but to all the provinces alike but instead of helping, federal government is placing obstacles in our way.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that the federal representative – Governor – Sindh is not even signing the relief package ordinance given to the people by the Sindh government as an attempt to create hinderance.
