Take criticism in right spirit, says Congress

04/04/2020, SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT,NEW DELHI

Rejecting Home Minister Amit Shah’s allegation that the Congress is playing partisan politics over COVID-19, senior Congress leader Anand Sharma said that the party is only constructively engaged.

Mr. Shah in a tweet on Thursday had accused the Congress of playing petty politics. “High time they think of national interest and stop misleading people,” he had tweeted.

Mr. Sharma said that such allegations were completely baseless, and that the Congress, as a responsible and mature Opposition, has national interest at its heart. “Giving critical inputs or recommendations should not be misconstrued by the government. They should take it in the right spirit,” he said adding that the government should adopt whatever suggestions could be acted upo
