New Delhi, March 24 The Congress has hit out at the government for not providing protective equipment to health workers who are directly engaged in the fight against coronavirus.
Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala, while commenting on the tweet of a government doctor in Haryana, said in a tweet, "Dear PM, this is what is wrong with your strategy to fight #COVID-19. Doctors-Nurses-Health Workers don't need mere 'mention' but 'protection' of N-95 Masks, Hazmat Suits/Shields, Gloves/Goggles/Shoe Covers."
The Congress leader said that government should listen to the call of Doctors who are deprived of basic needs.
The party leaders have been raking the issue of scarcity of masks and other essentials while questioning the government on the export of these items despite clear instructions from the World Health Organisation.
