PML-N MNA Khurram Dastgir said that the federal government's decisions were being taken without revealing the data behind them.

"Give us some statistics, give us some metric to gauge the situation. They imposed the lockdown without revealing the data and lifted the lockdown in the same way.

"They give examples of other countries but take Germany's Angela Merkel for example. She clearly explained that steps will be taken according to the country's infection rate.

"Where is our planning, what are they waiting for," he questioned.
