P Chidambaram flays delay in setting up of economic task force to battle coronavirus pandemic

New Delhi: Former Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram on Tuesday attacked the Modi government for the delay in setting up a Special Economic Task Force to analyse the effects of coronavirus pandemic on Indian economy and to create a road map to reduce the financial strain. In a series of tweets, the senior Congress leader wrote: “Woke up to read the shocking news that, four days after the PM’s announcement, the promised Economic Task Force has not been set up by the government!”

Woke up to read the shocking news that, four days after the PM’s announcement, the promised Economic Task Force has not been set up by the government !

— P. Chidambaram (@PChidambaram_IN) March 24, 2020

He questioned Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, saying the Ministry of Finance has disowned responsibility for constituting the task force. “Why doesn’t the FM pick up the telephone and speak to the PM? Or is that taboo in this government?” he asked. In his address to the nation on 19 March, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the setting up the task force to assess the requirements of various sectors and oversee the implementation of the proposed measures.
