Islamabad: Former prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) stalwart Shahid Khaqan Abbasi took shots against the sitting government, the sugar producers, and the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC), calling for their arrests and shutdowns.
Speaking to the media outside an accountability court in the federal capital, the former premier said that PM Imran Khan, along with 40 per cent of the sugar producers in the country, should be placed in jail.
He accused the government of mishandling the pandemic and said that Pakistan is one of the only countries in the world where people must pay for the vaccine themselves. In this regard, he said that the NCOC should be shut down.
The government has been unable to buy a single coronavirus vaccine, the former PM continued, adding that a country like Pakistan with a population of 230 million people is vaccinating its people through charity.
