The situation turned tense when Arif Mustafa Jatoi of the Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA) asked a question of the health minister. “The health minister became emotional and said, “It is a meaningless question, which cannot be asked here.” Jatoi responded again. The health minister claimed that the Sindh Assembly secretary had sent this question to her department seeking a response. Treasury members thumped their desks when Pechuho accused Jatoi of harassing health employees, while opposition members started to protest her remarks. The minister has given the answer that there is no any particular virus in jails that affects politicians.
