It may be noted that the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), an alliance of major opposition parties has violated standard operating procedures (SOPs) and agreement made with the government for the Gujranwala rally.
According to details, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Vice President Maryam Nawaz, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto, JUI-F chief Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman and other party leaders have violated SOPs by not wearing masks and breached agreement as they addressed people at different locations during the Gujranwala journey.
Contrary to the guidelines issued by the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) and Punjab government for public gatherings in view of the coronavirus pandemic, there is next to no social distancing and most participants are not wearing masks in the Jinnah Stadium. The PDM has failed to pull a crowd in today’s rally.
