He has also demanded government to call a meeting of parliamentary standing committee on health, via video link to consult all political parties on the policies and measures being taken on the issue of virus outbreak in the country.
“I urge the Speaker National Assembly to immediately convene a meeting of the Standing Committee on Health to discuss the current situation,” he stated on social media.
