Replying to the debate on Motion of Thanks to the President's address in the Lok Sabha, PM Modi charged that "the Congress crossed the limit", adding that "during the first wave, when we had lockdown, when WHO was advising that 'stay wherever you are'... the Congress at the Mumbai railway station gave tickets to labours to go and spread coronavirus". "You people pushed the labourers into difficulties," he said. The Prime Minister also slammed the Aam Aadmi Party government for forcing migrants to leave Delhi during the lockdown.
