ISLAMABAD: During his first interaction with the parliamentary leaders of key political parties through a video link after the outbreak of coronavirus in the country, Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday stressed the need for fighting the pandemic collectively and said he was ready to get input from all the parties.
“We are ready to get input from all of you. I want that we should win this war collectively. When we will win this war, it will be the victory of Pakistan, all provinces and all the political parties,” the prime minister said in his opening remarks.
However, despite these positive remarks by the prime minister, the meeting convened by National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser to discuss the prevailing situation in the country due to spread of coronavirus, ran into disarray as Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president Shahbaz Sharif and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari boycotted the proceedings when the prime minister abruptly left the meeting after making opening speech and without listening to the other participants.
