“Export has been stopped only five days back, Why? Who can they shift the blame onto? Jawaharlal Nehru isn’t in charge, Narendra Modi is. He should step up to the plate. He is the Prime Minister. It is incumbent on him to protect Indians, to give them a sense of safety and to fight this battle from the front.”
“They see precious human life in terms of demand and supply. But then what can one expect from a government led by a PM who is holding rallies and laughing on stage while lakhs of people are crying for help, the healthcare system is reeling under a massive pandemic and lakhs of Indians are fighting for their lives,” she said.
