When the raging controversy made it hard to ignore, Krishna issued a statement on his Twitter handle on Friday, March 27, where he claimed that he had put him on home quarantine immediately after his return from a foreign visit on Mach 10 and had come out on March 24 only after his 14-day period ended! But what was intended to be an ‘explanation’ that would put the matter at rest for good ended up raising more questions – and causing more embarrassment - for himself and the government itself instead. “Just to clarify concerns in some quarters, I returned from abroad on March 10, as per government notification, I had registered on 16th and the quarantine period of 14 days ended for me on March 24th. Joined back on duty for assisting in COVID-19 management,” he said. As per government guidelines, the 14-day quarantine period is supposed to start only after the registration which, in this case, was done on March 16, as Krishna himself admits in his ‘explanation that wasn’t’!
