Modi apologizes to Indians for 21-day lockdown hardships, calling it harsh but “needed to win” the battle against the coronavirus pandemic.

officials have confirmed 867 cases of the coronavirus, including 25 deaths. Experts have said local spreading is inevitable in a country where tens of millions of people live in dense urban areas in cramped conditions with irregular access to clean water.

“Thousands of migrants workers have been forced to leave their rented homes as they are unable to pay rent. It is important that the government intervenes and provides them money for their rent immediately,” Rahul Gandhi, a member of Parliament and leader of the opposition Congress party, said in a letter to Modi on Sunday.The lockdown — the world's largest — risks heaping further hardship on the quarter of the population who live below the poverty line.

Workers from Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, or RSS, a Hindu nationalist group, passed out surgical masks and stacks of roti wrapped in newspaper. With millions of followers, RSS eventually gave rise to Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party. “There’s no government help present here. We’re distributing food free of cost,” said Rajesh Singh, one of the volunteers.

'मोदी है तो मुमकिन है' The prime minister of India narendramodi has taken very commendable step.

Did he apologize for brutally beating minority? Lock down is needed I get that, but why not provide food to poor ppl. He only implemented lock down so he can killed minority silently.

Contrast his leadership with the muddled thinking in the US/UK. Irrespective of whether you agree with him or not, atleast he’s taking a decision & executing. US & UK are killing their citizens due to their indecision. IndiaFightsCOVID19
