Corona / Randeep Surjewala’s charge – lack of masks and ventilators in the country but 4 days ago, the government allowed exports at 10 times the price
Panipat. Congress national spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala has made serious allegations against the Modi government. He said that there is a shortage of N-95 masks, face masks, ventilators and medical equipment in the country. But the government has approved to export them four days ago on March 19 at 10 times the price. He said that this step is playing with the health of the public, doctors, nurses and medical professionals.
Surjewala said that on Sunday on the call of PM Modi, the whole country played applause and placards. But now it has come to the fore that the health of the doctors, nurses and health professionals who are treating coronavirus is being played out. Today in the country the patient needs a ventilator, the doctor needs an N-95 mask. But on March 19, the government allowed these things to be exported at 10 times the price.
Surjewala said that AIIMS also does not have the entire N-95 mask. Why is this messing up? PM Modi should sack Commerce Minister and Commerce Secretary. It should be investigated, criminal case should be filed. It is expected that PM Modi will take action in this hour of crisis. They have also shown the paper allowing export to the media as proof.
