Raipur: Amid growing coronavirus infection in the country, former Chhattisgarh CM and Chief of Regional Party Janata Congress Chhattisgarh Ajit Jogi has written a letter to PM Narendra Modi demanding 'National Medical Emergency'. In a letter to PM Modi, Jogi also mentioned the Emergency of 1975.

UN calls for immediate global ceasefire to fight corona

He has said that the emergency was imposed at that time for political reasons, which is called the black chapter of the country, but in view of the present global health disaster, if applying medical emergency, this disaster is prevented, and I am confident that the public will take this decision in a positive way. Jogi has said that the number of corona victims in the country has almost doubled in the last two days.

Govt may announce Coronavirus bailout package soon, PM modi can appeal for help

Jogi said that if this trend continues like this, we will soon reach the third stage of coronavirus where the infection will spread through 'community transmission'. This will be such an explosion, which our country with a population of 130 crores is never in a position to handle. This situation will bring great disaster to our country. Congratulating the success of the public curfew, I request you to declare 'National Medical Emergency' in the country immediately and complete lockdown in the entire country for the next few days.
