As a matter of truth, the 12 opposition leaders made it some extent to assault the Prime Minister and his authorities by saying, “Unfortunately, your government has either ignored or refused all (previous) suggestions. This only compounded the situation to reach such an apocalyptic human tragedy…Though it has not been the practice of your office or government, we would appreciate a response to our suggestions in the interests of India and our people.”With each passing day, India’s opposition leaders make a grand clown of themselves and get ignored by the federal government for his or her evidently weird suggestion to sort out the pandemic.
