The Gujarat Congress on Wednesday alleged that the “Namaste Trump” event, organised by the state BJP government in Gujarat, on February 24 was responsible for the spread of coronavirus in the state.State Congress President Amit Chavda said his party wants an independent probe by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) into this, and that they will approach the Gujarat High Court soon against government’s “criminal negligence”.However, the state BJP unit dismissed the allegation as baseless, saying the event was organised well before the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared COVID-19 as a pandemic, and the first coronavirus case in the state was reported nearly a month after the event.
