Kerala’s Thiruvananthapuram MP said the center is not consulting with states before relaxing the closure rules. “Even though the people of this country received a three-day notice before closing for a 17-hour janata curfew on a Sunday, when most people spend a lot of time at home anyway. What followed it was a trial for a longer national shutdown, “Tharoor said.
“The prime minister in his speech to the residents of his constituency compared the disaster he had unleashed on the nation to Kurukshetra. He said it took Mahabharat 18 days before victory was won and tackling COVID-19 will take 21 days. 180 days, our number of cases nationwide is the second largest in the world and heading to number 1. Daily cases have almost reached a lakh. The economy is in tatters and has suffered a much more severe contraction than any other country. “Tharoor said.
