NEW DELHI : The parliamentary standing committee on health should be allowed to interact with the health ministry and Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) on COVID-19, senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said on Thursday.
He also demanded experts tell the truth to the country on the COVID-19 situation based on facts and science. "Why has the government of India discontinued daily briefings on the health situation?
All countries inform their citizens through the press in a time of crisis. At such times credible and professionally competent faces should be telling us what is happening," he asked.
Ramesh said the standing committee on health, of which he was a member for five years, is chaired by the very sober and responsible Ram Gopal
