Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Friday while interacting with the Chief Ministers of 10 states worst hit by the second wave of Covid-19, interrupted Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and objected to the discussion being televised by his office. This is strictly against our protocol’ the Prime Minister said. After being chided by the PM who said this behavior was ‘not appropriate’ Kejriwal expressed "regret". The central government later accused Kejriwal of using the platform to "play politics" and "spread lies".
The Chief Minister's office later put out a statement saying there has never been any instruction, written or verbal, from the central government that the said interaction could not be shared live. His office however they regret any inconvenience caused.
