Talking to a private news channel, the minister said nobody could make comparison of Pakistan’s economy with European countries that was why Prime Minister Imran Khan was not in favor of holding lockdown.
The prime minister was leading the country from the front and taking difficult decisions to stop spreading of corona pandemic, he added.
Asad Umar said it was unfortunate that opposition leaders were doing politics on lockdown for political point scoring.
Several countries had imposed lockdown due to increase of COVID-19 epidemic cases, he said.
