Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday urged his country to strictly adhere to the SoP, especially wearing masks to protect themselves and their families from the third wave of the deadly Covid19 pandemic.
“I urge all of you to wear masks, and I urge you to follow all the SoPs for you and for Pakistan,” Prime Minister Imran Khan said during his interactions with the people by telephone as well as broadcast live on the news. channel.
It was Prime Minister Imran Khan’s first public interaction after recovering from Covid19 and working from his headquarters since.
Khan said it is a blessing of Allah SWT that He protected us from the first two waves of the Coronavirus deadly wave. He said despite vaccinating their people, countries in Europe would be isolated. He mentioned the impact of the third wave in neighboring countries – India and Bangladesh and said “Wearing a mask is the most important thing in protecting oneself.”
“Wear it whenever you are in a closed room with people, on the bus, everywhere,” and the world today recognizes it as an important protective measure.
The Prime Minister said that Allah has had mercy on the Pakistani people during the first two waves, and Pakistan escaped serious negative impacts, but now the people have become complacent and no one is worried anymore.
“People roam without fear. If this spreads more, it will put pressure on our hospital system. “
“We will not lock down, [but] only impose limits, [but if the situation worsens] otherwise we will be forced to take the next step, ”the Prime Minister warned.
He said according to the data the poor were the most affected people worldwide, and about 150 million people were below the poverty line worldwide. The prime minister said it was his desire to protect the poor segments of society at all costs and said he wanted them to exercise security.
“Nobody can predict how long this third wave will last,” he said, adding that it was therefore important for people to strictly adhere to standard operating procedures (SoPs).
The Prime Minister said corruption was undermining the economies of poor countries like Pakistan and that society as a whole had to give full support to make the fight against the threat successful.
Responding to public questions during the live broadcast session, the prime minister said a country can fight corruption only through collective efforts.
“Imran Khan cannot fight it alone, society is doing this struggle and the courts are fighting for it. The fully independent National Accountability Bureau can frame the case, ”he added.
The prime minister said corruption was a real problem, which has permeated all of the world’s poorest countries, even shaking up the economies of the rich.
He was referring to the steps Mahathir Mohamad was taking to uplift the Malaysian economy and subsequent corruption.
Powerful elites embezzle national wealth by holding powerful positions like the one in Pakistan and then carry out money laundering because they cannot hide such large sums in their respective countries, he added.
According to a United Nations panel report, about 1,000 billion dollars from poor countries are being laundered into rich countries or tax havens, he said. The report further said that about 7,000 billion dollars had been deposited in wealthy countries, Imran Khan added.
The prime minister said the Pakistani government was trying to get back laundered money.
China has sent 450 ministers to prison on corruption charges and in Singapore, a minister committed suicide after he was arrested on corruption charges, he added.
He regretted that in Pakistan the corrupt element was warmly welcomed and watered with flower petals.
Expressing his determination, the prime minister said, “God willing, we must win this fight – the struggle for the rule of law, which is essential for the survival of the country.”
He said in the fight, all corrupt elements gathered on one platform to bring down Imran Khan’s government for not giving them the NRO (National Reconciliation Ordinance).
Imran Khan said the real problem was the rule of law, which the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was firmly enforced on the State of Medina.
“We all have to decide together to hunt down these corrupt elements,” he said.
Prime Minister Imran Khan has firmly ruled out normalizing relations with India unless it reverses his illegal actions on August 5 in India’s Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
During a lengthy live broadcast in response to various public inquiries, the prime minister answered the question that no normalization could occur with India unless it withdrew its illegal measures against IIOJK.
“We have championed the Kashmir issue in all global forums in a way that has never happened in the past,” he said.
The prime minister said sugar imports from India were rejected by the cabinet. The Cabinet decided that no steps would be taken to normalize relations with India.
“I give you the assurance that no normalization of relations with India can happen unless it removes the illegal measures,” he told a caller from Azad Kashmir.
After a disastrous New Zealand tour, the Bangladesh national cricket team returned home on Sunday morning.
The Tigers faced the hosts in three ODI draws and three T20 matches but failed to end a winless drought in New Zealand.
The Tigers’ next task is to play a two-match Test series against Sri Lanka, which is part of the World Test Championship. The Bangladesh team is scheduled to travel to Sri Lanka on April 12.
Bangladesh failed to play a good cricket brand in any department against New Zealand. They lost to the ODI series 3-0 before experiencing the same result in the T20I series.
The ODI team led by Tamim Iqbal fought in the second match with a score of 271 runs while taking the first shot. Tamim and Mohammad Mithun each reached fifty in the game, but the hosts chased him with 10 balls to play. Bangladesh was disappointed to show resistance in other matches.
Speed runners are expected to shine on New Zealand’s fast and turbulent surface. But the Bangladesh pioneers failed to do that. Taskin Ahmed cast some good spells during the series but failed to live up to expectations. Country premium pioneer Mustafizur Rahman was also below par during this tour.
Many eyes were on Hasan Mahmud and Shoriful Islam – two new weapons in the bowling arsenal of Bangladesh. Hasan’s New Zealand tour ended with just one ODI as he picked up an injury while Shoriful made a glimpse of the potential to bag two goals in the three T20Is.
Shoriful got some bounce and movement in the New Zealand goal and he managed to trouble the host batsmen in all three matches in the T20I series.
When it comes to batting, the New Zealand tour is one Bangladesh would want to forget. In the ODI series, Bangladesh missed the 200 runs twice, and in the T20I, they were less effective against bowling attacks than the hosts.
Mushfiqur Rahim only played the ODI series and failed to appear even with fifty. He missed the entire T20I series through injury while Mahmudullah Riyad scored 76 in the last ODI, but that’s not quite what is expected of an experienced campaigner. At the top, Liton Das, Soumya Sarkar were also unlucky on this tour.
Nasum Ahmed and Mahedi Hasan demonstrate some great spin-bowling mantras. Mahedi also bagged a few goals, but like any other department, the Bangladeshi spinner also failed to do anything memorable in New Zealand.
Bangladeshi team members are supposed to play at least one round of first-class cricket in the National Cricket League (NCL) ahead of the Sri Lanka tour.
However due to the recent Covid-19 spike across the country, NCL was temporarily suspended by BCB. So the Tigers had to travel to Sri Lanka without playing the cricket version again for a long time. However, they may have a three-day practice game in Sri Lanka before the main draw takes place.
