Opposition destroying people's lives in desperation to get NRO: PM

Multan & Isb Covid ventilators capacity utilisation 70%. Across the world there is a second spike — Imran Khan (@ImranKhanPTI) November 22, 2020

He further said that across the world there is a second spike and complete lockdowns in most countries but in Pakistan, the PDM by continuing with jalsas is deliberately endangering lives and livelihoods.

"If cases continue to rise at the rate we are seeing, we will be compelled to go into complete lockdown and PDM will be responsible for consequences," Imran Khan warned. He maintained that opposition can hold a million jalsas but will not get any NRO from him.

Pm Khan further said that he does not want to take measures like a lockdown that will start hurting Pakistan’s economy which at the moment is showing signs of a robust recovery but unfortunately, the opposition’s only goal is NRO at whatever cost to the lives of people and the country’s economy.
