The government should practise in India what it preaches to the world, Congress leader P Chidambaram said on Monday, a day after PM Modi stressed on democracy and freedom of thought at a G7 meet.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech at the G7 Outreach meeting is inspiring as well as ironic. The Modi government should practise in India what it preaches to the world,” Chidambaram tweeted in response.
He added that it was “sad” the prime minister was the only guest not physically present at the outreach meeting. “Ask yourself why? Because India is an outlier as far as the fight against Covid 19 is concerned. We are the most infected and least vaccinated country (as a proportion of the population),” the former union minister said.
