Altaf Hussain on Covid

In his address, Hussain said that when the COVID-19 started spreading, every news related to it was listened to with attention, as to learn about how many people were infected with the coronavirus in how many countries, how many people died, what steps are being taken in which country, safety measures, social distancing, personal hygiene, etc.

He further said that "so much has been said in this regard that gradually the yearning to know about the coronavirus was no longer there. Now the news for us is that a vaccine is being developed in a certain country. Vaccines have been developed in the country and vaccines are being tested in such and such a country. There was so much news about this that people lost interest."

He said that China and the United States are blaming each other for the spread of COVID-19. China emerged as the Republic of China on October 1, 1949, while the United States became independent two and a half hundred years ago. "The question then arises as to how China has surpassed the United States in the nuclear sector and economics. This clearly means that the development and prosperity of any country require organised, hardworking and sincere leadership which believes in the development of the country and the nation instead of its own caste."
