He added that how can a province with a mammoth Rs120 billion health budget fail to establish coronavirus wards needed in accordance to the rise in patients testing positive for the virus.

The tweet read: “Did Bilawal just threaten to go on strike with frontline paramedics? Hilarious considering Sindh gov is on a 3 day ultimatum before all medics in province go on a full strike& his phupo the health minister despite a 120B health budget hasn’t been able to make enough covid wards!”

Chairman of Pakistan People Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari earlier in the day had blamed the federal government for the spread of coronavirus in the country and asked how long can country endure the current leadership crisis.

Addressing a press conference with Chief Minister Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah, Senator Murtaza Wahab, provincial information minister Nasir Shah and health minister Dr. Azra, Bilawal Bhutto accused federal government of sabotaging efforts of Sindh and CM Murad Ali Shah to curb the spread of novel coronavirus.
