That Goel’s letter found its way in the media also did not go down well with the prime minister, the sources said. The Budget Session is scheduled to continue till April 3.

There has been speculation that the session may be curtailed in view of the health advisory against big gatherings.

When over 130 crore people of the country are facing a health concern, MPs should be seen to be doing their work, including to deal with coronavirus, and Parliament should function, Modi said, according to the sources.

Briefing reporters, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi said Modi heaped praise on doctors and other medical staff besides airline crews and all those involved in tackling the coronavirus crisis, saying they have worked positively and tirelessly. Joshi ruled out any curtailment of the session.

Modi also lauded the media for spreading awareness on the virus, and said no amount of praise for its work will be enough.

As the parliamentary party meeting ended, many BJP MPs were seen passing on the prime minister’s appreciation to reporters in the parliament complex.

Modi asked BJP MPs to spread awareness among the people in small groups and suggested that they should refrain from launching any mass agitation till April 15.

He told them to meet medical professionals in their constituency and praise them for the work.
