ڈپٹی اسپیکر کی خواہش کے احترام میں اج پارلیمان جانے کا ارادہ کیا ، لیکن تین پارلیمانی رپورٹرز اور دو سینیٹرز کے کرونا مثبت آگئے ہیں اور یہ اب طے ہے کہ ان کو کرونا پارلیمان کی عمارت سے لگا لہذا۶ ارادہ ملتوی کر رہا ہوں امید ہے جلد ورچوئل سیشن بلایا جائیگا جہاں تسلی سے بات ہو سکے گی

“It is clear that the reporters had contracted the virus from the Parliament building. Because of this, I have decided to postpone my plan and I hope a virtual session will be called now,” Fawad Chaudhry stated and hoped that virtual session of the house will be soon conducted to discuss the pandemic.
