Spokesperson of Prime Minister’s Polio taskforce Babar Bin Ata released a statement that said, “Mrs. Fawad thinks getting their daughter immunised from the UK will give the child protection against WPV1 strain. Protection against Wild Poliovirus can only be guaranteed with Oral Polio Vaccine.”

The spokesperson further alleged that the Lahore Deputy Commissioner told him that Fawad’s driver and family misbehaved with the anti-polio team when they were going to vaccinate the child. “Fawad is our pride, I request him to allow teams to vaccinate the child.
