The PPP leader gave these remarks in his interview to journalist Adil Abbasi on his show. “Those who died from kidney issues and heart attack are also being counted in coronavirus death toll. This is happening because the affected family will get $ 3,000 from WHO,” he said.
He even went on to say that WHO has signed the said agreement with all the coronavirus-hit countries, not only with Pakistan.
Earlier, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Khurram Sherzaman had alleged that PPP-led government in Sindh was faking and manipulating the covod-19 death toll of the province.
