Bureaucrat-turned-lawyer and social activist Abha Singh has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to direct the ministry of external affairs to take up the matter of COVID-19 at UN. She had earlier written a letter to UN secretary-general António Guterres requesting his legal action against China and ordering an inquiry into the complacency of WHO to deal with COVID-19. The UN has responded to her letter.

Abha Singh wrote to the UN, “The rapid growth of COVID-19 is attributed to gross negligence on part of China and the WHO in their handling of the outbreak. China suppressed all the information about the pandemic in December 2019 and January 2020 during which it could have been contained locally. Director general of WHO Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus committed a gross delay and negligence by failing to declare the outbreak as the public health emergency of international concern.”

China and the WHO are criticized for their role to handle this pandemic and the US too attacked WHO for its role.
