FIGHT AGAINST COVID19: "I AM PROUD OF YOU ALL!" PM MODI GOES EMOTIONAL IN HIS LATEST SPEECH!

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the Nation at 11 am today in the 64th edition of his monthly Programme ‘Mann ki Baat’. He started the talk by emphasizing that India’s fight against COVID-19 is People Driven. "People of our country are fighting this war with the administration. We are also fighting poverty. I am proud that all of us are part of it. All of us are soldiers in this fight," he said. He bowed down to the 130-crore people of India for cooperating in times like these.

He went on to talk about the new ways that people are adopting to help each other who are in distress. He explained how many people in social media have been acknowledging the work done by Coronavirus Warriors. He applauded the work done by Police and talked about the positive changes in perception that people have towards the police. “This change in perception will play a huge role”, he said. 

PM Modi also promoted the Union government's latest online platform for coronavirus-related queries at covidwarriors.co.in. He spoke in length about the importance of the Epidemic Diseases (Amendment) Ordinance 2020 and its benefits. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, "Many health care workers have hailed the latest ordinance brought in to protect them. This law was necessary to protect our doctors and nurses."

He concluded the address by appealing to the citizens of the country to follow “ancient teachings” during this battle against COVID-19. “We have helped many countries with their medical needs. Many world leaders have thanked the people of India for the help we have extended. People around the world are falling back to Ayurveda and Yoga to fight COVID-19. We need to be more confident about our old teachings. Our youth have to carry forward these teachings," PM Modi said.

In his previous Mann ki Baat, he apologized to the citizens for imposing the nationwide Lockdown and spoke about the importance of taking that step.
