In a surprising turn of events, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's government received astonishing praise from across Pakistan's leading daily 'Dawn' editor Fahd Husain for the former's way of handling the continued COVID-19 crisis. However, Maharashtra govt was ridiculed for its mismanagement during the pandemic.
Hussain took to his official Twitter handle and lauded Uttar Pradesh govt for strictly enforcing the lockdown to contain the virus spread within the State.
Before slamming the Pakistan govt for failing to try to an identical thing, Husain tweeted a graph to match coronavirus price in Pakistan and Uttar Pradesh to elucidate how both sides of the border handled the Coronavirus situation and what were its ramifications.
"While the Indian state of UP features a lower death rate than Pakistan, Maharashtra features a higher rate despite the younger population and better GDP/capita. We must know what UP did right and Maharashtra did wrong to find out the proper lessons," he tweeted.
According to the graph shared by Fahd Husain, Pakistan features a population of 20.8 crores while Uttar Pradesh has over 22.5 crore people living in it. And despite having more population, UP has reported only a few COVID-19 cases as compared to Pakistan.
