Daughter of the president and Goodwill Ambassador of Polio Eradication Campaign Asifa Bhutto Zardari said on Saturday that opportunist elements create negative propaganda against Polio campaign.
In an interview to the state’s TV channel, she said if polio vaccination was harmful for health, my mother Benazir Bhutto would not have made me drink polio drop to start the campaign.
She said that polio vaccination was also administered in Saudi Arabia because they know that it was not harmful to health neither against the Sharia, as polio is not an issue of any single country or nation.
Asifa said that every possible effort would be made to get access in terror hit areas and added that vaccination facilities were provided in the Army Hospitals present in those areas. Polio cases have been decreased in Pakistan as not a single case of polio has been reported in the biggest city Karachi, she maintained.
The Polio Eradication Campaign ambassador thanked the International Community for cooperation in eradication of polio from Pakistan.
Asifa firmed that ‘polio free Pakistan’ the dream of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto would be fulfilled at any cost.
