He said no body should underestimate the valiant armed forces and law enforcement agencies which defended every inch of the motherland and successfully checked the scourge of terrorism.
To a question, he said so far no decision was made about lockdown but if ratio of coronavirus positive cases reached 15 per cent, there would be no option left but to impose the lockdown.
He said National Command and Control Centre was making calculations regarding requirements of edibles and other daily use items.
The minister said it was the duty of foreign missions to extend the best possible services to Pakistanis and all possible steps would be taken in that regard.
