Usman Buzdar while talking on this occasion regretfully said that opposition parties have only done oral calculations on the important national issue of coronavirus pandemic.
Opposition should come to know loud and clear that public service cannot be done merely by giving statements, he added. He emphasized that one is supposed to stand by the masses in order to render them service and PTI leadership is standing shoulder to shoulder with the masses to effectively deal with coronavirus pandemic.
Everything has changed including politics across the globe owing to prevailing coronavirus pandemic but the negative attitude posed by our opposition parties has not changed at all, he lamented. He inquired that how come those going abroad by deserting the agony-proned masses in this time of difficulty and need can become their benefactors.
