That report on Covid fatalities is an add Centre’s face: Congress

Hyderabad: All India Congress Committee speaker as well as Telangana Congress leader Dr Dasoju Sravan labelled World Health Organisation’s record exposing 40 lakh Covid -19 fatalities in India as an add the face of the BJP-led Union government.

Saying that both the Centre as well as the State federal governments have actually been under reporting as well as concealing Covid fatalities simply to conceal their failings in taking care of the pandemic, Dr Sravan required both the federal governments to perform fresh audit of Covid fatalities as well as supply settlement to the family members of all the deceased. “WHO’s report stating that Covid-19 deaths in India were around 40 lakh is a tight slap on the face of Government of India. It is shameful that instead of taking corrective measures, the Modi Sarkar is questioning the methodology of WHO and trying to hide actual figures only to cover its absolute failure in handling the pandemic in India,” the Congress leader declared.

Raising major problems over Centre’s position to depend upon States for examining the Covid fatalities, he stated the Congress had actually required Prime Minister Narendra Modi throughout the 2nd wave itself in last July to use up the obligation of examining the right numbers of fatalities, as Telangana government had blatantly underreported Covid fatalities to conceal its failings in Covid monitoring.

He stated he was urged to technique High Court looking for instructions to assignApex Death Audit Committee “The case is still pending and the Telangana government is making its best effort to mislead not only the people of the State, but also the High Court,” he declared.
