JAMMU: BJP J&K Vice President Yudhir Sethi in a hard hitting statement on Saturday slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his remarks on the situation in the country amid the coronavirus outbreak especially with regard to lockdown restrictions.  The BJP leader said that till political leaders like Rahul Gandhi are there Pakistan and other enemies of the nation need not to act against India because Congress leader and his alike are doing their job with complete efficacy resonating Pakistan’s voice vociferously without fail.  

Taking a jibe on Rahul Gandhi, he said the Congress’ ‘elite’ leader’s criticism over lockdown in the country has come at the time when entire world especially World Health Organisation has applauded India for its relentless efforts to fight the spread of the lethal coronavirus. Sethi said it is annoying that  when the country is passing through such critical phase wherein government has put in all its resources to bail out people of this nation out of this morass, the ‘sadist’ Congress leader  is not leaving any chance to derive pleasure out of this grim situation. He said that before raising questions on lockdown, the so called ‘young’ Congress leader should have first asked Congress ruled and partnered states to revoke such restrictions, which they have imposed quite earlier than central dispensation’s lockdown.  The BJP senior leader said that all the countries affected by this virus have opted for lockdown and are achieving desired results but the Congress leader is not convinced and wants elimination overnight as if government has a magic wand and is not using the same.

Sethi said that faultfinding at this crucial juncture is Congress’ compulsion as the party has become redundant under present circumstances and is looking for various alibis to remain relevant. The senior BJP functionary asserted that the grim situation from which  country is passing now requires that Rahul Gandhi and other leaders of opposition should stand shoulder to shoulder for bolstering government’s resolve to fight coronavirus and solidify the measures taken by BJP government in this direction.
