Video link meeting: GB leaders apprise Bilawal of insufficient steps against Covid-19

A meeting of Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Gilgit-Baltistan was held through a video link and chaired by Chairman PPP Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari.

The leaders who attended the meeting include Syed Mehdi Shah, Amjad Hussain Advocate, Engr Ismail, Imran Nadeem, Sadia Danish, Jamil Ahmad, Basheer Ahmad Khan, Mohammad Musa, and others, said a press release issued on Saturday.

They apprised Chairman Bilawal of insufficient measures and non-serious attitude of the federal and the GB governments, while dealing with the Covid-19.

On the instructions of the PPP chairman, every member of the GB Assembly and ticket holders of the PPP have provided ration to the underprivileged in their respected districts.

Bilawal said the federal and provincial governments' negligence towards providing relief to the people was criminal in nature.

The PPEs have not been provided to the doctors and paramedical staff who were fighting the Covid-19, he lamented.

Providing relief to the doctors was the responsibility of the federal government, Bilawal said.

Chairman Bilawal thanked China for providing timely help to the people of the GB.

He asked the government to provide Rs15,000 per month to the people of the GB because at the moment, they did not need development projects; rather, they need a relief package.-PR
