Nisar Memon praises Chinese leadership

Senator Nisar Memon has praised the Chinese leadership, headed by President Xi Jinping, for having controlled the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic with precision. 

“COVID-19 had first surfaced, reported and now controlled in China. How did they do it? Their leadership, hats off to President Xi Jinping who led from the front and his entire team in centre, provinces and municipalities who implemented effective unambiguous lockdown with reliable data using information technology and artificial intelligence to save further lives by testing, isolation, isolation and isolation,” the former federal minister wrote in his latest newspaper article. 

“In the fight they provided to doctors, paramedics and supporting staff the personal protective equipments. These frontline medical soldiers in turn went scientifically against the virus to save citizen lives. Bravo!” he complimented.

“The ancient civilization of our region is stuck by a pandemic which has taken the whole world by surprise. Isn’t this the time to bury the hatchet, unite to fight current common enemy and lay a solid basis for future relations? The answer can only be in affirmative,” he reckoned. 

“Unfortunately, our neighbour Iran could not implement social distances due to ziarat (pilgrimage) and COVID-19 found fertile ground to spread. India announced severe and tough lockdown and saved their people. Sri Lanka undertook early hygiene and preventive measures and kept the Island nation safe. Bangladesh took stringent measures to save lives. Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives, Afghanistan too fought well to save lives,” Senator Nisar Memon noted. 

“Pakistan had no option but to take actions to contain spread of pandemic. South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) countries with population of about 1.8 billion had confirmed COVID-19 cases of above 20,000 and over 600 deaths, as of last week. At the same time; USA and Europe with population of about 1.1 billion had confirmed Covid19 cases of above 1.6 million and over 120,000 deaths. SAARC affliction was proportionally lower than USA and Europe,” he stated. 

“The scientists and social researchers have yet to come up with a plausible answer as to why such a huge difference. The reasons like temperature, social distances, and effective lockdown do not hold true. The rural horizontal spread, food we eat, and pollution with unclean environment may have developed immunity within our body. But nothing definitive is said yet,” the former federal minister commented.
