New Delhi: Union Minority Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Wednesday said there is no need to panic over the fear of spreading corona infection due to election rallies in the upcoming assembly elections. He said the country has enough resources to deal with the coronavirus.

Talking to the media, Naqvi said, "There should not be any fear about coronavirus. We must plan, take precautions, make efforts for prevention. There is no need to panic over political rallies and the fear of spreading infection because we have enough resources and facilities to fight this war for the health and well-being of the people."

Naqvi further said, "I think you are scaring people more by creating panic again and again. Moreover, the Government has so many facilities and resources that any crisis can be faced.'' The Union Minister was reacting to Punjab Health Minister OP Soni's demand for a ban on election rallies with large meetings amid rising corona cases. Naqvi alleged that panic was being created among the people by demanding a ban later.
