Comment:

 What @dhanendran said. Also, the code would need somebrackets to follow
 the [https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/coding-
 standards/php/ WordPress PHP coding standards].

 However, I don't think hiding the comment form for draft posts is the
 ideal solution here. Allowing comments on drafts might be desirable under
 some circumstances (live previews in the customizer, REST API, etc. See
 also #19739).

 Instead of a blank page there should be an actual ''error message''. This
 means changing `wp_handle_comment_submission()` accordingly, where there's
 currently this line: `return new WP_Error( 'comment_on_draft' );` (note
 the lack of error message).
