Talking about coronavirus situation in the country, he said that the pandemic could be controlled with public participation, adding that complete lockdown will prove disastrous for a country like Pakistan.
He lamented that opposition and common people were not taking the COVID-19 resurgence seriously.
PDM will not be allowed to hold rally but at the same time government will not bar it, the premier gave an unclear stance.
