Coronavirus Scare: ‘If following COVID protocol is not possible then the Bharat Jodo Yatra be postponed’, Union Health Minister to Rahul Gandhi

New Delhi: Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya has written to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and  Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot to follow covid19 protocols strictly during Bharat Jodo Yatra.

The letter reads that COVID guidelines be strictly followed during Bharat Jodo Yatra and the use of masks-sanitizer be implemented; mentions that only vaccinated people participate.

In the letter, the Union Health Minister has also requested that if following COVID protocol is not possible then the Bharat Jodo Yatra be postponed in national interest, taking note of public health emergency.

Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury also reacted to this letter by Mansukh Mandaviya and said that he wants to ask BJP if PM Modi followed Covid protocols during Gujarat Polls?

“I think Mansukh Mandaviya is not liking Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra but people are liking it & joining it. Mandaviya has been deputed to divert the public’s attention,” he said.

Congress MP Karti Chidambaram said he haven’t seen the letter. He said why this sudden to Bharat Jodo Yatra if not that it is rankling the BJP?

I haven’t seen the letter but what are the COVID protocols today? We don’t seem to be having any enforceable COVID protocols in any other public gatherings. Why this sudden attention to Bharat Jodo Yatra if not that it is rankling the BJP?: Congress MP Karti Chidambaram https://t.co/uRlryoyV65 pic.twitter.com/bZxe95WSvN
