PPP MNA Abdul Qadir Patel said that each and every criticism made by the opposition was advice for the federal government.

"We stand by urging the government to bring back students stranded in Wuhan. By all means bring back stranded Pakistanis but make proper arrangements. Federal borders and infectious diseases are the responsibility of the government," he said.

He added that it was understandable the premier was not in attendance during today's session "due to his age" as "people in that age group were more susceptible to the virus". Therefore, we can excuse his absence, he said.
