I am requesting again and again to the people to follow precautionary measures in letter and spirit and also to stay at home. We will not leave families of coronavirus martyrs alone in their difficult time.

Our coronavirus cases have surpassed China in numbers.

We can’t allow horrific scenario like USA and Germany to happen in Pakistan.
