ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain says the government is examining the Sindh Government’s decision of imposing lockdown.

In a tweet, he said, “Prime Minister Imran Khan’s policy is clear that we will oppose to any step that severely affects economy of the common man.”

He said the National Command and Operation Center and Sindh government should jointly devise a strategy in which the common man’s livelihood was least affected.

سندہ حکومت کے لاک ڈاؤن کے فیصلے کا بغور جائزہ لے رہے ہیں، وزیر اعظم کی پالیسی بالکل واضع ہے ہم ہر ایسے اقدام کے خلاف ہوں گے جس سے عام آدمی کی معیشت شدید متاثر ہو NCOC اور سندہ حکومت اس ضمن میں ایک ایسا لائحہ عمل مرتب کریں کہ عام آدمی کا روزگا اور کاروبار کم سے کم متاثر ہو
