Against the people

THIS is unacceptable that a handful of self-serving politicians whose pursuit of power exceeds their sense of public responsibility show such utter disregard of the interests of 220 million Pakistanis. When we are devoting our energies to economic recovery and stability, such super-spreader events as political rallies unjustifiably expose fellow citizens to the more aggressive wave of the mutated Covid-19 virus.

The results of these rallies will be devastating for the people. Unless better sense prevails, the nation will never forget such an insensitive attitude of opposition parties.
