New Delhi, Mar 20: Congress MP and former Union finance minister P Chidambaram has praised the efforts taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to contain coronavirus outbreak. “I have offered our support to the PM’s announcements yesterday, but I am absolutely certain that the PM will have no option but to come back with tougher social and economic measures,” Chidambaram tweeted. After reviewing overnight developments in India and the world, I am convinced that a temporary lockdown of towns and cities for 2-4 weeks is necessary, he further tweeted. Yesterday, I got the impression that PM was testing the waters. He should act boldly. The war against coronavirus cannot be fought with moral armaments, he added. ICMR says that the disease is still at Stage 2 in India. This is the moment to act. Let us not allow this moment to pass without decisive action and regret later, he concluded.
