New Delhi: When the world community has come together to fight Coronavirus, this unusual & startling incident is grabbing the attention of all.
Pakistan’s all-weather friend, China has apparently made a farce of its Covid-19 assistance to Islamabad. Reports suggest that China had promised high-quality N-95 masks to Imran Khan govt but when the consignment reached hospitals, doctors found out that the masks were actually made of undergarments.
Reporting the news, a Pakistani news anchor said, “China ne chuna laga diya”. She also elaborates that Sindh provincial government didn’t check the consignment and rather sent it to hospitals. Doctor called it a ‘cruel joke’.
