'Testing Won't Harm You': Rahul Gandhi On People Attacking Medical Workers

“Testing does not harm anyone. And testing capacity should be increased. There should be no differences based on caste and religion, these should be set aside. We should unite and fight this together, otherwise, we will lose. We need to understand that he elderly are especially vulnerable as compared to other western nations.”

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi held a press conference via video conferencing today addressing the issues about the lockdown and the coronavirus pandemic. He laid down several constructive suggestions for the government for the management of COVID-19 transmission. To a question on whether people from a certain community are attacking medical workers and not cooperating with testing and screening. He replied that testing should be done irrespective of religious differences. “Testing does not harm anyone. And testing capacity should be increased. There should be no differences based on caste and religion, these should be set aside. We should unite and fight this together, otherwise, we will lose. We need to understand that he elderly are especially vulnerable as compared to other western nations.” Gandhi has been critical of the way the government has been handling the spread of coronavirus in India. But today he said during the conference he said though he differs from Prime Minister Narendra Modi at many points, now is not the time to bring up those differences. He said that this is a big fight and we all have to fight united. Before the Prime Minister’s address on April 14, Sonia Gandhi had also addressed the nation with a video message.
