He asked the government to ramp up the testing facilities across the country. “Our testing is not enough to understand where the virus is moving, and it has to go from chasing the virus to getting ahead of it,” he said.

He called on the government to involve all parties and find a way ahead of the crisis.

He also blasted the government for enforcing a lockdown without arranging for any facilities such as lodging and food which has inconvenienced large sections of the population.
