Man admits spreading lies against anti-polio drive

Author: Agencies

A man found guilty of launching a malicious campaign against the anti-polio drive was remorseful in a video message on Thursday, and urged people to get their children vaccinated. The man found campaigning against the anti-polio drive in Peshawar issued his confessional video message in police custody and urged people to get their children vaccinated. On the other hand, the additional deputy commissioner in his investigation report did not find any signs of sickness within the children who were vaccinated. Thousands of children were vaccinated, but none of them came to the hospital, while faking the illness was a pre-planned conspiracy, the report added. On the other hand, the police are conducting search operations to arrest the suspects involved in attacking public and private buildings.
