Information Minister Shibli Faraz has criticised PML-N party chief and Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif for not attending its recent session on Covid-19.

Speaking at a press conference in Islamabad, Faraz said: "His absence shows his elite mindset. He did not show up because he thinks it is only his health and life that matters." The minister claimed that other PML-N MNAs came to attend the session despite being sick.

Faraz also said that Prime Minister Imran Khan considered himself the "premier of the entire country" and treated everyone equally.
