FM Qureshi Gets Angry After Reporter Questions Violation Of Social Distancing Protocol
Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi lost his cool when a reporter asked him why he was not following the social distancing protocol during his media briefing.

A reporter questioned, “Don’t you think it is necessary for all of us to maintain social distancing here?” The federal minister got angry after listening to this question and said, “You shouldn’t have come then. I didn’t invite you or forced you to come here.”

Shah Mahmood Qureshi termed the question of the reporter as a result of ‘negative thinking’. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senior leader said that he was there to provide a ‘service’. “I am doing my work here and you [reporter] are also supposed to do the same.”
