As Delhi hospitals reels under oxygen shortage, Aam Admi Party lawmaker, who is admitted to a hospital in the national capital after testing positive for Covid-19, issued an emotional appeal to the Centre and the Haryana government to provide oxygen, stressing that it is not the time to take pot shots but to work together.
