NOWSHERA: Federal Minister for Defence Pervez Khattak on Tuesday requested the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) to postpone its public meeting planned in Peshawar for November 22 due to a spike in coronavirus cases.
“We have put off the public meeting which was to be held in Nowshera on November 21 and to be addressed by Prime Minister Imran Khan due to the Covid-19 rising cases. The PDM should act responsibly and postpone its gathering in Peshawar slated for November 22,” he said while talking to the media.
It may be mentioned here that the opposition’s 11 political parties, which are part of the PDM alliance, have announced to arrange a huge public meeting in Peshawar on November 22 as part of the anti-government campaign.
The PDM had already held massive public meetings in Gujranwala, Karachi and Quetta. www.thenews.com.pk/print/745152-khattak-says-pti-nowshera-rally-postponed-over-coronavirus
