The Congress Working Committee (CWC) met in New Delhi to discuss the coronavirus crisis in the country during which party president Sonia Gandhi once again pointed at the poor rate of testing for coronavirus and shortage of supply in PPE kits for medical professionals.

She also accused the BJP of spreading the virus of communal prejudice and hatred in the country, asserting that grave damage is being done to social harmony. She said it should worry every Indian and her party will have to work hard to repair this damage.

“Let me also share with you something that should worry each and every one of us as Indians. When we should be tackling the coronavirus unitedly, the BJP continues to spread the virus of communal prejudice and hatred,” she said.

“Grave damage is being done to our social harmony. Our party, we will have to work hard to repair that damage,” the Congress president added.
