Elements, trying to disrupt national unity, not friends of masses: Firdous

ISLAMABAD, Apr 06 (APP):Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Monday said the elements, trying to disrupt national unity at a time when the country was fighting coronavirus, were not friends of the people.

In a series of tweets, in response of the press conference by Pakistan Muslim
League-N leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, she said some leaders in the opposition were busy in getting political mileage from current situation when the nation was fighting coronavirus.

She said it would be better if Leader of the Opposition Shehbaz Sharif and
Shahid Khaqan Abbasi refrained from expressing their myopic views during
war against the coronavirus.

She said that due to the corruption of previous rulers, Pakistan’s economy
had nearly collapsed.

She reminded Shahid Khaqan Abbasi that inquiry into the flour shortage
and sugar price hike had been initiated on the order of the Prime Minister
Imran Khan, and the government took bold step to make the report public
by uploading it on the PID website.

She said that Imran Khan had vowed to let people know the real facts
and this move had stunned the opposition.
