NEW DELHI: The BJP on Saturday slammed former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Kamal Nath for allegedly linking a Covid-19 variant with India and accused the Congress of making frequent statements to "insult" the country and weaken its fight against Covid-19.
Senior BJP leader and Union minister Prakash Javadekar told reporters that the Congress was not playing the role of a responsible opposition and had instead fallen to doing negative politics.
He alleged that Nath used the term "Indian corona" during an interaction and noted that even the World Health Organisation (WHO) has clarified that any variant is not named after any country.
