Earlier, Rahul Gandhi, had said that India is the only country to have relaxed the lockdown while coronavirus cases are rising. He also shared the graphs of Spain, Germany, Italy and the UK, which had shown a decline in cases after the lockdown.
The former Congress president had also said that "India is the only country where the coronavirus cases is rising and we are removing the lockdown. The aim and purpose of the lockdown have failed. India is facing the result of a failed lockdown.”
