Thiruvananthapuram: CPM Politburo member S Ramachandran Pillai said that the rights and wrongs of Sprinklr contract can be checked later and the actions to stop people dying should be prioritized now. He added that the opposition should stop taking their usual attitude in this situation.

The government has entrusted the duty with Sprinklr company with full confidence. The government's action in all sectors were effective in containing the virus. A responsible opposition should support the government decision taken during the rare context of a pandemic, he said.

The matter of privacy during normal context and the privacy during an extraordinary situation are different. It should be checked to what extent we can protect privacy at the time of a pandemic. As there was no time left to be wasted, the government entrusted the duty of data assessment to a company that was known to them, Ramachandran Pillai said.

It can be checked later if the contract was wrong or right. Now the most important need is to stop disease transmission and death toll. After that, we can check these matters and hold debates. This is a new experience in the history of human society. All these experiences should be examined later, he further said.
