Numerous Pakistanis including doctors were opposed to a pre EID lifting of the lockdown. We had all predicted the ongoing surge in cases.Why couldn’t the Govt assess this?It was so obvious.The next 4 weeks are DANGEROUS for all.None can stop us from staying home.Please STAY HOME
The right way to do it would have been to wait for EID to be over and,thereafter,the lockdown should have been lifted in a planned and phased manner; not haphazardly like it was done by the Govt and aggravated by a SCP order. Am not using hindsight.I and many said this then too
Sense of responsibility is important. In this case the responsibility for the rapid-rate surge in COVID19 cases clearly lies at the doorsteps of the Fed Govt and the SCP. Govt should just own up and say it was an error of judgement which it was and redesign an effective strategy
In Italy PM&Mayors yelled at the nation on TV to stay home. Today,Italy is open after having 1200-1500 deaths a day for some weeks. NZ has not had a single case for some days now. Leadership has to rise on such occasion like the New Zealand PM Jacinda and not to appear laid back
The att video is of a speech by the PM of NZ Jacinda Arden;not a word is superfluous. Leaders have to lead in crises.Just like she did. Just like a weak PM in Italy rose to the occasion and led his nation out of the corona virus crisis

In Pakistan the politicians are at each other’s neck each saying the other as incompetent.The phenomenal crisis Pakistan today faces will be remembered and written about by historians and by the looks of things they will probably have nothing good to say about the leadership

PAKISTAN STEEL MILLS
1) Inaugurated by the then PM Z.A.Bhutto
2) Born:- 30-12-1973
3) Died :- 03-06-2020
Pakistani nation stood as silent spectators when PM ZABhutto was executed.Even the then judges now acknowledge it as a judicial murder).We are a perpetually muted 220 million
Its a pity,indeed,that a Project of a gigantic potential such as the Pakistan Steel Mills(PSM) has been brought to a closure after it had been ravaged thoroughly over the decades.The then PM Z.A.Bhutto did Pakistan colossal good by making PSM possible.We ruined it over the years

@ImranKhanPTI At 10% +ve results if 220 million Pakistanis are tested we will have 22 million infected people.Even at 5% we will still have 11 million infected people.Thus,Pakistan has a colossal potential crisis looming over it.Yes,total lockdown is probably Pakistan’s best bet
Even if we work it downwards by another half to 2.5% of Pakistan’s population being infected we still have 55 lac positively infected unknown people walking around the villages and cities. It isn’t difficult to imagine their potential to spread the virus to tens of millions more
Since we don’t have the ability to pinpoint all the 55 million unidentified potentially infected people Pakistan’s ONLY option is to contain them and prevent a proliferation of the virus.The difficult decision of a complete lockdown MUST,therefore,be taken.

My mind goes back to the night of 5/6th Aug 1990.Pakistan’s streets were peaceful; there was calm all over.Yet,I had to wake up Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto(SMBB) at 3am to tell her that the then President Ghulam Ishaq Khan was to dismiss her Govt at 5pm next day which he did
The dismissal of SMBB’s Govt was announced by the President using his infamous powers under the now defunct Article 58(2)(b).My mind also goes back to the night of 5/6 Nov 1996 when SMBB’s second Govt was brought crashing down for no real reason. Just that ‘she has to go’
This time too it was that infamous Article 58)2)(b) applied by the then President Farooq Leghari. With all that happening I had actually seen the formation of two Constitutionally elected Govts of SMBB and how each day they struggled for their survival but eventually fell
