Congress president Sonia Gandhi while addressing Congress Working Committee meet said that the testing rate in India remains very low despite repeated appeals to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. She urged the Centre to provide financial assistance and food security to labourers.

Key points:

”We have repeatedly urged the Prime Minister that there is no alternative to Testing, Trace and Quarantine. Unfortunately, testing still remains low and testing kits are still in short supply and of poor quality. PPE kits number and quality is poor.”

”Migrant laborers are still stranded, jobless and desperate to return home. They have been hit the hardest. They must be provided with food security and a financial safety net in order to survive this period of crisis.”

” 12 crore jobs have been lost in the first phase of the lockdown. Unemployment is likely to increase further as economic activity remains at a standstill. It is imperative to provide at least Rs.7,500 to each family to tide over this crisis.” BJP is spreading the virus of hatred and communal bias at the time when everyone together should fight coronavirus, says Sonia Gandhi

"The doctors, nurses, paramedics, health workers, sanitation workers and essential service providers, NGOs and the lakhs of citizens providing relief to the most needy all over India, their dedication and determination truly inspire us all"
