LAHORE (92 News) – Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Usman Buzdar has termed on Thursday that the opposition parties have been playing the role of locusts in the current scenario of coronavirus crisis. Talking in Multan, the chief minister said that the opposition tried to divide the nation. “The Pakistani nation is disappointed with the opposition’s negative attitude,” he maintained, adding it is unfortunate that they didn’t desist from playing politics over the coronavirus issue. He said political as well as administrative teams are mobilised to cope with the once-in-a-century pandemic. He pointed out that the province faces two challenges of coronavirus and locust invasions at the same time, vowing to adopt a multi-pronged strategy to get through both these challenges.
