PML-N MNA Nisar Ahmed Cheema said that Murad Saeed's comments about the New York governor allegedly haling Prime Minister Imran Khan's 'smart lockdown' had to be sarcasm.

"First of all I searched for this statement but I could not find it. But if it was said, I am certain that it must have been sarcasm."

He added that frontline workers should be provided personal protective equipment immediately while random testing should also be ensured. "We don't know the actual number of cases. we are only focusing on those in hospitals or travel history."
