Expats praise govt for virus control steps

LAHORE :Prime Minister Imran Khan's untiring efforts to combat Coronavirus and to provide relief to the hard pressed Pakistanis and the humanistic response towards helping their devastated brethren by the people is not only appreciated in the country but also a great source of encouragement and strength for the Overseas Pakistanis living thousands of miles away from home and highly concerned about the well-being of their kins living here.

Talking to this scribe on Monday, many Pakistanis living in Canada praised the strategies and steps being taken by Prime Minister Imran Khan with regard to the war against Coronavirus.

Most of the Pakistanis living in Toronto, one of the highly affected Canadian city, told that the Canadian Prime Minister comes on a national TV everyday for about an hour only to brief the people about the devastating effects of Corona to them, besides appealing them to stay at home (which they don't due to their climate related socio-cultural habits).

They said that Pakistan being a poor country as compared to Canada and many other rich countries of the world, has been handled with an unprecedented care & high sense of responsibility on the part of the Prime Minister, his worthy team and the kind-hearted people of Pakistan who always stand up together against any calamity.

Pakistani doctors, engineers, and men and woman belonging to various professions in UK & United States, were of the opinion that the wisdom and sincere efforts made by Prime Minister Imran Khan, the selflessly dedicated doctors, paramedics, philanthropists and the people’s strong faith in Allah and their love for their fellow countrymen seem to be the most effective tool to defeat Corona menace, the pandemic which had crippled the entire world at present.
