PTI government cannot hide behind the Covid-19. He said that we do not accept the budget which has not given any relief to the people. Imran Khan should work to save people from this pandemic instead of targeting the constitution.

Meanwhile, in a twitter message Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said “It’s easy to condemn police brutality around the world without looking inward. Criminalizing torture is the first step towards ending this culture of impunity and bringing the perpetrators, whoever they may be, to account. Torture is criminal, make it a crime.”

In another twitter message Chairman PPP said “PM IK calling OBL a martyr in NA is consistent with his history of appeasement to violent extremism. It is during his government that those involved in APS attack ‘escaped’ and those involved in Daniel Pearl’s murder get relief. Running with the hare and hunting with the hound.”
