Today morning at 9.00am PM Modi shared a video message. Let me tell you about it.
The country-wide lockdown has completed nine days today.
During this time, people all over the country followed the rules of the lockdown and remained at home.
You have all been disciplined to help eliminate the virus from India.
You all remember on 22nd March 2020, PM Modi requested everyone to cheer for medical workers and policemen at 5:00pm.
These loud cheers that rang all over India were very positive and inspiring.
Looking at this, many countires have copied this concept as well.
All of you following PM Modi's orders and sitting at home, must wonder how can one fight COVID-19 alone?
PM Modi said that, 130 crore Indians are fighting COVID-19 together by remaining at home.
PM Modi said that, please do me a favor have a goal and a conviction. Then we can be successful in eliminating COVID-19.
The current situation is extremely bad. The lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to issues like
losses in business, unemployment, etc. These problems have created darkness in our lives.
But if you have the conviction and lots of positivity, you can fight the virus.
For example, think of a train that is passing by a beautiful scenery and suddenly enters a tunnel.
The dark tunnel seems never ending. But when you look out of the window you see the light towards the end.
This means that towards the end you will again be back in light. This is positivity!
Similarly even our lives are engulfed in darkness.
But continue to remain home and practice all precautionary measures.
Eventually the cases of COVID-19 will reduce and the light shine again.
But first we need to be positive.
PM Modi made a small request.
On 5th April Sunday at 9:00pm all Indians must switch off all the lights in their house.
Stand on balconies, windows or even your terraces
and light a candle, diya, torch or even your phone torch along with your family.
But please remember do not gather in large groups. Try maintain social distancing.
This because a large group is at a risk of transmitting COVID-19. Social distancing will protect you from contracting the virus.
What is the purpose of lighting these?
When India is completely submerged in darkness,
These lights all over the country will shine bright by giving positivity and uniting the nation to battle the virus.
These lights must be lit for 9 minutes.
You will not achieve anything with negativity. The virus will still remain in the country.
Stay strong and positive. Follow all the rules and we can beat COVID-19 and make India win.
