Sonia Gandhi said, "Dr. Manmohan Singh sent a very restrained and constructive letter to the Prime Minister. This paper was based on his study and experience."

 Sadly, the Prime Minister did not even mention his letter, while the Health Minister personally attacked Manmohan Singh for this letter. This is the attitude of the government to deal with the epidemic. I was surprised by the health minister's reply. I have written many letters to the Prime Minister as Congress President but did not get any meaningful reply. 

"In the last 14 months, I wrote 10 letters to the Prime Minister regarding the covid epidemic. All the letters had constructive suggestions on dealing with the epidemic."
