After the coronavirus was born in Wuhan, China, the corona spread all over the world. China has been accused of withholding information about Corona in the early days. So China slowly spread the corona everywhere

The Corona crisis poses a major challenge to 190 countries around the world. More than three million people worldwide have fallen victim to the corona. Many countries around the world have demanded that China be held responsible for the crisis.

The pressure on China is mounting. It will also decide on the role of the World Health Organization in defending China. Sixty-two countries, including India, have called for an independent inquiry into the corona. The European Union presented the proposal at the World Health Assembly on Monday.

In the context of Covid 19, there is a demand for an "impartial, independent and detailed investigation" of the WHO-led international health response. The proposal can be approved by consensus in the WHM.

According to sources close to the Times of India, neither China nor the US has opposed the proposal. However, the two countries are not on the list of 62 countries supporting the proposal. .

The proposal calls on some international organizations, including the WHO Secretary-General, to investigate the source of the virus and how it spread to humans.

India is becoming the Chairman of the Executive Board of the World Health Organization (WHO). Many countries in the world are raising their voices against China on the issue of Corona. But India has not yet taken a firm stand on this. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had expressed his views on WHO reforms.

Meanwhile, the EU proposal does not mention China or the city of Wuhan. He also has the support of China's ally Russia. Apart from Australia, supporters of the proposal include Japan, New Zealand, Brazil, South Korea and the United Kingdom.

It is only right that India should support this proposal of the European Union. The corona virus is not a bilateral issue between India and China. This is a matter between China and the international community. The whole world needs to protect itself from such epidemics in the future.

Many countries have expressed strong resentment about the WHO and China. China has so far denied any involvement in the Corona outbreak. But the United States has warned that China will be held accountable for the outbreak.

The role of the WHO in the Corona case is also in doubt. China did not inform the world about the corona in time. He also tried to stifle the voices of those who raised their voices in this regard. Still, the WHO is praising China, the WHO alleges.
