Holding a public meeting despite coronavirus pandemic is irresponsible act: Shibli Faraz

Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, he said that the people had rejected the opposition in the 2018 elections. "People have also rejected the opposition in the Gilgit-Baltistan elections. How can the rejected people reject the results," he added.

The minister said that JUI-F chief Maulana Fazalur Rehman does his business in the name of politics. "Rifts have appeared in the Pakistan Democratic Movement," he claimed.

He said that decision about the closure of educational institutions would be made in a couple of days. "It has also been suggested that the winter vacations should be prolonged by reducing the summer vacations. It is right that there is fear of the spread of coronavirus at any place where people gather," he added.

Shibli Faraz said that the PTI had cancelled all its public meetings due to coronavirus. "Elimination of the inflation is the top priority of our government. Things will improve with the passage of time which will trouble the PML-N," he added.
