The official Facebook page of Prime Minister Imran Khan shared a picture of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Al-Mustafa Scouts, claiming them to be the members of the Tiger Force doing relief work in Sialkot.
The post prompted a response from the PML-N volunteers, who said they were taking part in the coronavirus relief activities on their party’s orders and had nothing to do with the Tiger Force.
In a comment, Usman Dar, PM’s adviser on youth affairs, claimed one of the volunteers was in fact a member of the Tiger Force.
He said, “The person who is in black kurta, spraying disinfectant, is a part of the Tiger Force and his name is Sajid Parvez.”

He alleged that PML-N was politicising the issue. “These people have come out of selflessness just to help the government implement the SOPs of lockdown in mosques and community centres. “PML-N is trying to play politics and see everything out of context, which wasting ours and the public’s time,” he said.
