Playing petty politics over coronavirus: Amit Shah slams Congress

“Under PM Modi’s leadership, India’s efforts to fight coronavirus are being lauded domestically and globally. Over 130 crore Indians are united to defeat COVID19. Yet, Congress is playing petty politics. High time they think of national interest and stop misleading people,” he said in a statement.

Meanwhile, Union Minister Prakash Javadekar said that Sonia Gandhi’s criticism of the Central government’s handling of coronavirus situation is unfortunate. “Unnecessary politicisation of the pandemic,” he added.

The statement from Amit Shah came after Sonia Gandhi slammed the government for the unplanned implementation of the countrywide lockdown, which, she said, caused chaos and pain to millions of Indians across the country.
