Federal Planning Minister Asad Umar insulted Britain earlier in the day for placing Pakistan on the “Red List”. “Every country has the right to make decisions to protect the health of its citizens,” Umar tweeted a day after Britain put Pakistan on the “red list”.
“The British government’s recent decision to red list several countries, including Pakistan, raises legitimate questions as to whether the country’s choice is science or foreign policy,” he said.
