New Delhi, Mar 23: The whole of Bharat is waging a war against coronavirus (COVID-19). The entire country as one made the ‘Janata Curfew’ (‘people’s curfew’) a success. The way the entire country expressed its gratitude to the medical fraternity and the other essential services providers by clapping and also playing plates, bells, conches, etc., at 5 pm yesterday. It quite demonstrated its anti-corona war resolution. Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) working president Advocate Alok Kumar today said that this national resolution transcended all caste-creed-community-religion considerations, is unique and a matter of welcome. Such resolutions are helpful in facing all challenges to the nation. “We are confident that in the face of this strong national resolve, the Corona pandemic wouldn’t survive. We now also have to ensure that in this time of crisis, no citizen of the country goes to sleep without food’’, he added.
He said that the lock-down has been announced till March 31 in several states of the country. Businesses, factories, schools, colleges and public transport will remain closed. Due to this lock-down, hand-to-mouth people such as daily wage earners, labourers, street hawkers, rickshaw pullers, porters, etc., are likely to get caught in great difficulty. Due to the loss of their daily income, their families may be facing great financial and survival crisis. Therefore, in this time of struggle, it is the responsibility of all capable citizens of the country to ensure that no one bound to sleep with an empty stomach.
The Vishva Hindu Parishad calls upon all capable citizens to ensure that in their locality, villages, towns and cities, every person gets two times of bread to feed themselves & their families. In this sacred work, help of religious institutions such as Mutts (monasteries), Temples, Gurud-waras, Jain Sthanaks, Baudha Viharas, etc., and also help of Resident Welfare Associa-tions (RWAs), trade associations, Panchayat committees, etc., can be taken.
Through a press statement, Alok Kumar also said that the VHP workers would take along people, from all walks of life, in accomplishing this virtuous task, while following the health care and other norms of the administration. “We have to ensure that it would remain helpful to the administration and not a hindrance’’.
