21-day lockdown required without government planning: Sonia Gandhi

New Delhi, Apr 2, 2020, Thursday

Congress President Sonia Gandhi organized a meeting of the Working Committee of the Congress through video conferencing due to the lockdown.

Meanwhile, Sonia Gandhi, criticizing the Modi government, said that a 21-day lockdown was necessary but it was implemented without any kind of planning. As a result, millions of laborers have suffered.

Sonia Gandhi has demanded that the government provide equipments for doctors, nurses and health workers. The government announces how many hospitals have beds for Corona, quarantine and lab testing facilities, and the number of medical devices available to treat coronas.

He appealed to the government to remove the ban on farmers so that the farmers could reap the crop and announce a common minimum program to provide relief to the middle class.
