ISLAMABAD, (MANEND NEWS): Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhary Fawad
Hussain has said the people should cooperate and follow the SOPs to stay safe from Covid-19.
In a video message, he warned if we did not comply with the SOPs, Pakistan could also face a
situation similar to India. He therefore asked the people to follow ‘stay home and stay safe’
policy during the Eid-ul-Fitr holidays.
He said instead of visiting the relatives on the occasion of Eid, we should use the means of
internet and phone for communication with them. This, he said, is important for our own safety
and those our dear ones.
The Information Minister said we have also imposed ban on intra city transport to limit the
mobility.
Meanwhile Chaudhry Fawad Hussain on Wednesday said Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)
government would always stand by overseas Pakistanis, especially the labour class.
In a tweet, he said he was surprised at the letter written by some ‘former Babus’ to the prime
minister. Fawad said the attitudes needed to be changed. The treatment given to ordinary
people by our bureaucracy was absolutely not enviable, he said adding this was a common
complaint and Pakistan embassies were not exempt from it.
The minister acknowledged that embassies, like any other department, had very good officers
but stories could be written about how Pakistanis were treated in the past. He said the credit
went to Prime Minister Imran Khan who felt the pain of ordinary workers and now the embassies
of Pakistan were accountable to their workers and ordinary citizens.
