Special Assistant to Chief Minister Punjab Firdous Ashiq Awan on Sunday has on Sunday termed the Opposition rallies the main cause of COVID-19 spread across Pakistan.

Firdous Ashiq lashed out at the Opposition over their irresponsible behaviours during the second wave of the COVID-19. She said that 25 more people succumbed to coronavirus during the past 24 hours in Punjab.

Awan maintained that 662 more people tested positive for the COVID-19 in the province.

PTI came into power through the power of the vote, she said, adding that the government could not be toppled by the rallies.

Speaking further about the economy, the special assistant said that political stability was vital for economic stability.

She said that the opposition meeting scheduled to be held on 13th of December will prove to be a flop-show.

Earlier in a day, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President, Maryam Nawaz has on Sunday urged her party workers to respond quickly if any case registered against them by the incumbent government.

The VP lamented the PTI government as 3,000 first information reports (FIR) are filed after every rally held by the Opposition.

Maryam’s remarks came to light ahead of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM)’s rally planned at Lahore’s Minar-e-Pakistan monument on December 13.

Although Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that the 11-party Opposition alliance will not be prevented from holding the rally, he vowed that cases will be registered against all organisers and facilitators of the rally.

Maryam spoke at length about how the party’s popularity has been propelled by the social media teams.

Moreover, Maryam said that the PDM is about to make big decisions ahead of a meeting between alliance members on December 8.

“The people of Pakistan have won this war. Victory only remains to be declared in the rally on the 13th,” she said.

Federal Minister for Planning Asad Umar claimed that the Zardari-era would soon end in Sindh and that the PTI would rule the province in the future.

Speaking to media officials, Asad Umar said that the ruling PTI would establish its rule in Larkana. “We will draft a package for Sindh’s development.”

He lamented that “a few families accumulated wealth” in the province, while the poor people of Sindh continued to suffer.

Talking about rallies, Umar said that PTI could hold public gatherings in Sindh, but it “preferred not to put people’s lives at risk over [mere] politics.”

The minister, shedding light on PTI’s work in Sindh, said that the Centre had distributed the most cash to underprivileged people in the province during the lockdown.

“The government distributed [billions] among poor people as they were severely affected due to the lockdown,” he said.

The minister had apparently visited the city to meet senior PTI leader Ameer Bakhsh Bhutto, where he assured him that Prime Minister Imran Khan was serious about clearing reservations of party leaders.

Bhutto voiced his concerns that despite joining the PTI, no one in the top-brass was ready to listen to him. “The party is facing difficulties due to lack of organisation and security.”

“All your reservations will be removed,” Asad Umar assured him.

On the other hand, Former Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani assured that the procession of Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) will be held in Multan in any case.

Gillani said that PDM jalsa on the occasion of Foundation Day will take place at any case.

He informed the media that PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari cannot participate because of Coronavirus. However, he said that former President Zardari will address people via the video link.

Apart from that, Gillani said that Asifa Bhutto will address a PDM jalsa. She will arrive in Multan on November 30 and might give a surprise, he added.

Speaking to media officials in Nankana Sahib, Ijaz Shah advised Nawaz Sharif to return to the country and face the cases registered against him.

Taking on the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) anti-government rallies, the minister said the opposition parties should also think about the lives of the masses as the coronavirus pandemic is on the rise. The mortality rate in Multan due to COVID-19 is high.

Prime Minister Imran Khan called-off public gatherings amid a major spike in coronavirus cases.

The minister said that the opening of Kartarpur Corridor is a reflection of Pakistan’s desire for peace. He said Pakistan is providing all possible facilities for Sikh Yatrees at Kartarpur.

Shah said the Indian government did not issue visas to Sikh Yatrees.

The festivities of the 551st birth anniversary of Baba Guru Nanak have started in Nankana Sahib at Gurdwara Janam Asthan under strict precautionary measures.
