Rows between PPP & PML-N put Fazl’s APC in jeopardy

Nawaz

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leadership has conditioned its participation in the opposition’s all parties conference (APC) convened by Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman.

The differences between two major opposition parties – Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) – have turned the prospects of a successful APC bleak.

As per sources, in order to patch up with the PPP, the leadership of PML-N has put forward the need to restore trust as its foremost precondition.

The former ruling party was enraged over the recent statement of PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari, in which he held PML-N supreme leader Nawaz Sharif responsible for the cases against PPP leaders. According to sources, such remarks are a bone of contention between the two parties.

Furthermore, the sources told that the PML-N has showed its reservation on Zardari’s style of politics and has reportedly sought explanation from the former president regarding his role in toppling Balochistan’s government and Senate elections.

The PML-N has demanded from the leadership of PPP to first take steps to mend the trust deficit developed in the wake of recent political scenario.

A day earlier, the Sharif brothers – Nawaz and Shehbaz – decided against attending the all parties conference hosted by Jamiat Ulema Islam-F chief Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman.

Nonetheless, a delegation of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) will attend the APC.

Trump says he urged team to ‘slow’ COVID-19 testing

US President Donald Trump said Saturday he was encouraging health officials in his administration to slow down coronavirus testing, arguing that increased tests lead to more cases being discovered. The president has claimed falsely on several occasions that surges of COVID-19 in several states can be explained by greater numbers of diagnostic tests. At his first rally since the outbreak forced nationwide shutdowns in March, Trump told the crowd in Tulsa, Oklahoma that testing was a “double-edged sword.” The United States — which has more deaths and cases than any other country — has carried out more than 25 million coronavirus tests, placing it outside the top 20 countries in the world, per capita. “Here is the bad part: When you do testing to that extent, you are going to find more people, you will find more cases,” Trump argued. “So I said to my people ‘slow the testing down.’ They test and they test.” It was not clear from Trump’s tone if he was playing to the crowd, who ...
