Referring to the Pakistan Democratic Movement’s (PDM) upcoming public gathering in Lahore, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Senator Shibli Faraz asked citizens to stay away from their rallies. The reason given was to save their own and their families’ lives from the second wave of the Coronavirus pandemic. Addressing a post-cabinet press briefing along with Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Youth Affairs
Muhammad Usman Dar, Shibli urged Lahoris and others to refrain from falling into the PDM leaders’ trap as they were liar and deceitful, and had nothing to do with the public welfare. He said the PDM leaders did not bother about the ordinary people as
they just wanted to use them for their own agendas and vested interests. Their level of sincerity with the people could be gauged from the Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari’s engagement in which the COVID-19 test was mandatory for the participants.
Once the rallies were over, they would not even help the people to get tested for the coronavirus, he added.Their public gatherings were only meant to get relief in the corruption cases by building pressure on the government but they were
mistaken as they had to meet their ultimate fate.
