PM Modi in his speech had said, For the last 2 months, millions are working day and night in hospitals and airports and those serving others by not taking care of themselves. On 22 March, at 5’o clock, we should stand on our doorways, balconies, in our windows and keep clapping hands and ringing the bells for 5 minutes to salute and encourage them.
Indirectly responding to PM Modi, Gandhi called Coronavirus a sledgehammer to India’s brittle economy. Gandhi wrote on Twitter, Small & medium businesses & daily wage earners are the worst hit. Clapping won’t help them. Only a massive economic package that includes direct cash transfers, tax breaks & a moratorium on loan repayments, will.
