Delhi Finance Minister Manish Sisodia on Saturday said COVID-19 is not just a health crisis but is going to cause the most dangerous economic crisis in the world, urging the GST Council to discuss and take steps to avoid system failure.

"Corona is not only a health crisis. It's going to be (the) most dangerous economic crisis (the) world is going to face. The crisis would result in job losses at large scale and revenue deficits in government. I demanded (the) GST council should discuss this and act in advance before the systems fail," Sisodia tweeted.

The 39th GST Council meeting was scheduled to be held on Saturday.
