Communications Minister Murad Saeed says the opposition only demanded the imposition of a lockdown in the country instead of providing any solutions to tackle the coronavirus crisis.

"You didn't give us a solution, you just shouted 'lockdown! lockdown!'," he said while addressing the opposition in the NA.

He said Prime Minister Imran Khan has been saying from day one that people's livelihoods and lives must be saved. "Why don't you cooperate with us?" he asked the opposition parties.
