PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has exp­ressed concern over the plight of aggrieved families in Pakistan whose loved ones fell victim to the deadly coronavirus abroad.

“I hope that Pakistani missions around the world will be in close touch with troubled Pakistanis to extend them all possible help in mitigating their pain. Overseas Pakistanis should never consider themselves alone in this hour of grief and sorrow as the people in Pakistan are concerned for them,” he said.

The PPP chairman prayed for salvation of the departed souls and for courage to the members of grieved families to bear such a colossal loss.
