Prime Minister Imran Khan said that a lockdown is not a cure for the coronavirus.
Speaking to the media after a meeting of the National Coordination Committee (NCC), he said: "There are 25 million labourers whose families will starve if they don't work. So I, personally, have always believed that the lockdown was going to affect these workers.
"And the purpose of a lockdown is that it only stops the spread of the virus. It is not a solution. Let me repeat, a lockdown isn't a solution or treatment.
"When we impose and enforce lockdowns, people starve. Those who live in DHA don't care about these things. They analyse things differently."
