TIL Desk/National/Waynad/ Describing as “unfortunate” the comments by Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan on rising COVID-19 cases in Kerala, Congress leader and Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi said it was not appropriate to blame others and point fingers, but fight the pandemic unitedly.
With Kerala witnessing a spurt in infections recently, Vardhan had recently said the state was “paying the price for gross negligence” during Onam festivities when unlocking of services along with an increase in travel for trade and tourism led to the spread of COVID-19.
“It’s an unfortunate comment. The whole nation has to fight this disease together.I don’t think it’s appropriate to blame someone or the other. The spirit should be to overcome this huge challenge.
I had warned in February that India was facing a huge challenge. However, this is not the time to point fingers and we all should work together,” Gandhi said. He said Kerala follows a decentralised response to the pandemic and the state was giving out a good, decent result.
