The health min has been sidelined, with Modi, in his characteristic way by centralising the response.

The govt is hiding a pandemic in plain sight, & has painted a target on the backs of an already persecuted Muslim minority

I report for @thecaravanindia https://caravanmagazine.in/health/centre-places-restrictions-media-covid-press-briefings-shifts-focus-to-tablighi-jamaat">https://caravanmagazine.in/health/ce...

If you& #39;ve been following my tweets on health ministry& #39;s media briefing, you should read this story about the sham briefings... & what goes on back stage..

In London, the Hindu diaspora is at the centre of a cluster outbreak. Their govt has not vilified the minority the way Health & Home Ministry does every single day during the briefing.

These are patients(stupid patients, sure), but they are not criminals.

Fyi: we still dont know why Modi& #39;s entire top brass is MIA

"Lav Agrawal who is the face of India’s COVID response comes after 2 secretaries, 4 special secretaries & 4 additional secretaries, & is one of the 13 joint secretaries in the ministry of health. "
