    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Statement on misleading information about the COVID-19 pandemic. Unless issues of misleading information are checked, the spread of it will continue. We have realized that in most places, people are imagining that it will affect certain groups of people or they are in certain towns and not in the villages. In this case, people tend to ignore instructions from the Ministry of Health and the WHO in terms of taking care of themselves. Unless stern action is taken as stated in Article 16(1); that anybody conveying misleading information must be brought to account. In this case, it will cause more problems to the sick people. Right now, we have many people having varied information, even on the people who caught COVID-19 and got healed. The whole family is deemed to have it and they lack the necessary information. Very soon, people will begin to suffer other conditions such as mental illness. It is a time that we advised the Government to sensitise the entire nation through media or other various means so that there is stern warning for issues of misleading information. In this case, there is need for more sensitization of the people to understand COVID-19 means and that it affects everybody and not a certain cadre of people."
