chandigarhUpdated: May 31, 2020 01:25 ISTPunjab Congress chief Sunil Jakhar termed the open letter written to the people of the country by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on completion of one year of his government “a nasty joke”. He said that people across the country and all the state governments were seeking financial help from the Union government, but the PM is unaware of the realities. The state governments are also in a severe economic crisis as their sources of income were nosediving. In such a situation, everyone was expecting some relief from the PM,” Jakhar said. He said the “so-called” package of Rs 20 lakh crore had nothing to do with farmers and people of the low-income group.
