The PM’s Special Assistant said Tiger Force volunteers will also take part in a nationwide tree-planting campaign. Tiger force would assist district administrations and other relevant organizations in the government’s plantation drive across Pakistan, he added. Usman Dar said that volunteers of the Tiger force have extended matchless services during the emergency situation of corona pandemic towards national cause.
He further asked opposition parties to stop finding faults in every issue and start playing their role in the war against coronavirus alongside the government. “The Tiger Force has nothing to do with politics and any Pakistani can become part of this force and serve Pakistanis in these hard times voluntarily,” he mentioned. Usman Dar said PM had organized volunteers’ Tiger Force to serve humanity in this hour of need but the opposition was busy still criticizing it for the sake of criticism.
