The BJP claims to fight for Hindus; it claims that Hindus are in danger and they need protection. But today, when Hindus are literally in danger and are dying because of lack of oxygen, medicine and treatment, BJP leaders and the broader Hindutva family is simply indifferent to the pain of countless Indians who are going through intense mental and physical suffering to save themselves and their loved ones from COVID.

Adding insult to the injury, loss and suffering of the Indian masses, the leaders and members of the ruling Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) and their propaganda machinery are consistently denying the very existence of the crisis. The Solicitor General of India on behalf of the Modi Government recently argued in Supreme Court that one should not be a cry baby about oxygen supply and emphasized that so far we have ensured that on one in the country is left without oxygen.

Similarly, the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister has claimed that there was no shortage of oxygen in the state, and going further, threatened legal action and confiscation of the property of those who flagged oxygen shortage in any UP hospital.

Union Minister Piyush Goyal, who had earlier asked states to control the demand side of oxygen consumption, a few days ago claimed that we have enough stock of oxygen, while the Health minister, who had claimed in February that we are in the endgame of Coronavirus, is nowadays busy retweeting tweets of the Prime Minister and writing counter letters to opposition leaders.
