Angered by the development, Chamberlain Shehzad Vassim said the resolution was an indictment against the government. However, Senator Faisal Javed described the resolution as “strange”. “The whole world appreciates Imran Khan’s strategy against the coronavirus,” he said, defending government steps to vaccinate the masses.
The developments came after the PPP and the Awami National Party (ANP) were notified of key cases of alleged violations of the consensus solution and the principles of the opposition alliance, the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM).
