Rahul Gandhi Urges PM To Take Strict Action Against ‘profiteering’ in COVID-19 Test Kits Procurement
Mumbai: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday demanded Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take strict action against alleged profiteering in the purchase of coronovirus rapid test kits.
“Even when the entire country is fighting COVID-19, some people do not miss out on making unfair profits. Shame, disgust at this corrupt mentality. We demand from the Prime Minister that strictest action should be taken on these profiteers soon,” Gandhi tweeted in Hindi.

The Delhi High Court on Sunday directed that COVID-19 related tests should be made available to the general public at the lowest possible cost as the country is going through an unprecedented medical crisis affecting public order.
“The country is going through an unprecedented medical crisis affecting the public order. People are locked in their homes or constrained to live wherever they are on March 24. A profit mark-up of Rs 155 that is 61 per cent on the landed cost price of Rs 245 is much on the higher side and in any case more than sufficient for the seller,” Justice Najmi Waziri had said.
