PML-N Senator Mushahidullah Khan has claimed that the government rejected the opposition parties' help in dealing with the coronavirus crisis, especially in ration distribution.

Khan added that Shehbaz Sharif and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had offered the government help in dealing with the crisis. "JUI-F's Fazlur Rehman said that 40,000 volunteers from his party were ready to help with coronavirus relief efforts [...] but the government rejected the offer."

He criticised the government for not having a national strategy. "[The government] says we hold meetings everyday. Where are the decisions from those meetings?" he questioned.
