The Minister said the criminals who ruined the economy of the country and targeted national institutions are now bent on the effect on the health and livelihood of people.

Holding meetings despite court orders is tantamount to violating the law. PEMRA should not be allowed to broadcast such illegal and dangerous activities for the health of the people.

People will be held accountable for corruption.

ملکی اداروں کو بدنام اور معیشت تباہ کرنے والے مجرم اب عوام کی صحت اور روزگار کے درپے ہیں۔یہ اپنے غیر ذمہ دارانہ رویے سے عوامی صحت اور روزگار دونوں متاثر کرنا چاہتے ہیں۔ کرپشن کے کورونا سے عوام حساب لیں گے۔

کورونا کے شدید خطرات میں عوام کی زندگیوں کو داؤ پر لگانا سیاسی سفاکی اور ظلم ہے۔ معمولی سیاسی فائدے کیلئے بے گناہ انسانوں اور کارکنان کی زندگیوں سے کھیلنا مفاد پرست سیاسی ٹولے کی ذہنیت بے نقاب کرتا ہے۔
