She also thanked the frontline workers including doctors, government officials and sanitation workers who are working day and night to contain the virus spread despite being ill-equipped.
Reprimanding people for attacks on doctors, she said this is bad as our culture and civilization doesn't teach us this. We should cooperate and support each other.
However, she praised the people for helping out those in need and said the party is also trying to help out the people in need.
She said anyone who is in need of anything can contact Congress control room.
On Monday, she had also written to the Prime Minister, demanding extension of free food till September even for non-ration cardholders.
