'PM is confused over lockdown or no lockdown,' says JI's Liaqat Baloch

Jamaat-i-Islami's general-secretary Liaqat Baloch has said that the prime minister is "confused" over whether or not to impose a lockdown in the country.

He said that it was "not right to target pilgrims, religious groups or mosques".

While reviewing the Al Khidmat Foundation's food distribution drive, Baloch criticised the decision to form the Corona Tigers, saying that the government does not have the authority to constitute a force on a private basis.
