'There was no suggestion not to give footage of the meeting,' Kejriwal's office explained

Arvind Kejriwal's office on Monday issued a statement to Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticizing him for making public the speech at a meeting convened by Kovid in the wake of the second wave.  The CM's office explained that there was no suggestion not to release footage of the meeting called by the Prime Minister and that footage had been given to the media before.  Kejriwal's office said it was sorry if there was any inconvenience.
During the meeting, Kejriwal had asked the Prime Minister who he should talk to to ensure oxygen supply to Delhi.  The video of this was released.
'Hospitals in Delhi are facing severe oxygen shortages.  If there is no oxygen plan in Delhi, does it mean that the people here do not get oxygen?  When the oxygen tanker left for Delhi was diverted to another state, who should I call from the Central Government?
Sir, all you have to do is call the Chief Ministers of the states where the lorries carrying oxygen are blocked.  All tankers will reach Delhi on time.  A national policy is needed to deal with Kovid.  Urgent action is needed to address the oxygen shortage or a major disaster may occur.  The operation of the oxygen plants should be handed over to the military at this stage.  As a Chief Minister, I am in a position to do nothing.  I can't even sleep at night.  Please understand my situation and help Delhi. '  Kejriwal said in a review meeting.
