The latest development means that Bilawal will also be unavailable for Pakistan Democratic Movement’s (PDM) next rally in Multan due on November 30. He is, however, expected to address the rally via video link.

test karwane KuN kaha tha
Aur Mazeed Test Bhi Karwa Lete
This was meant to happen, God forbid! These politicians kept chanting ‘social distancing’ and ‘stay home’ but themselves never acted upon it. However, wish them and all those affected health and quick recovery.
Furthermore, he will address PDM jalsa via videolink! He can self-isolate himself but what about the people participating in these jalsas? Shame on these dirty politicians.
