Federal Minister for Communications Murad Saeed while praising Imran Khan’s efforts to curb COVID-19 through smart lockdown went a tad overboard.

Murad Saeed claimed that the state of New York in the US is planning to follow the concepts of contact tracing and “smart lockdown” introduced by Imran Khan!

The governor of New York said his state will follow the concept of smart lockdown for contact tracing introduced by Pakistan

Not just the US but according to the federal minister, the British government too is planning to “…follow Pakistan’s example.”

Addressing the National Assembly, which convened after a gap of nearly two months on Monday the minister added:

The British Prime Minister said the same. The world follows [us] but they [the opposition] don’t like it.

Twitter is having a ball bashing Saeed for his over-the-top statement.

Discrediting Murad Saeed for his statement was apparently not very difficult at all.

Of course, a reference to the jinxed BRT project is inevitable every time PTI is facing criticism.

Not just Murad Saeed but the credibility of the “smart lockdown” itself is being questioned.

You see, Mr. Minister, it is one thing to go for an overkill when you’re in your constituency, speaking with us, the simpletons. But to make such statements on the floor of the House? Rookie mistake, Sir! Rookie mistake!
