OPINION: India Needs to Put Up A United Front Against Coronavirus, Writes Rajyavardhan Rathore
News 18The whole country is fighting the coronavirus pandemic unitedly, and in an emergency like war and calamity, the nation has to show this kind of unity. This is unfortunate that the current top leadership of the Congress, which includes Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, is giving political statements rather than helping the country overcome the pandemic crisis. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has played an important role in encouraging the production of vaccines in the country and has taken the lead in creating awareness about the need for vaccination. Following the reports on shortage of oxygen in some states, Prime Minister Modi convened a meeting with the chief ministers, reviewed the situation and gave them necessary instructions. We have, so far, not read anywhere that Rahul Gandhi or Congress president Sonia Gandhi has suggested states ruled by their party what steps they need to take to combat the spread of the pandemic.
