The government has appealed to the Opposition to suspend its jalsas as coronavirus cases across the country rise.

On the other hand, the Opposition has refused to suspend its political gatherings and rallies, instead calling on Prime Minister Imran Khan to step down before they launch a long march to Islamabad to force him to go home.
