Govt misstated money allocated to relief programme, says former PM Ashraf

PPP leader Raja Pervaiz Ashraf has accused the government of misstating the amount of money allocated to the relief programme.

He said that the government keeps giving examples of European countries, that have allocated sizeable share of their GDP to deal with the health challenge. Even India, Ashraf said, had allocated 10 per cent of its GDP to handle the health crisis.

He demanded that the government presents the amount of GDP invested in dealing with the pandemic.
