Don't ask people to wear mask, take precautionary measures: UT Khader tells state govt
Belagavi: Karnataka Deputy Leader of Opposition in the Assembly UT Khader on Tuesday urged the state government to provide clear information on the COVID-19. He also asked the government to share the information provided by the WHO unambiguously.
Speaking to the media reporters at the Suvarna Vidhan Soudha, Khader also called on the government to take precautionary measures instead of asking people to wear masks.
“The government should ensure that there is no confusion among the people regarding the pandemic. Rather than asking the people to wear masks, the government should take precautionary measures,” he said.
Khader also urged the government not to give rise to panic among the people. “People should not believe everything that appears in various types of media, including social. A clear picture on the situation in China should be given, to spread awareness among the people,” he added.
Replying to a query against Karnataka Health Minister Dr. K Sudhakar’s remarks urging the senior leaders to avoid public programs, Khader dared the minister to look at his own party and the programs it is organizing and promoting.
“Let him speak about the leaders of all the parties, and not just about the Congress,” Khader said.
