Amritsar, April 4
The Dal Khalsa has termed PM Narendra Modi’s call to switch off lights and light candles and lamps at 9 pm for 9 minutes to fight the Covid-19 pandemic nothing but empty symbolism based on numerology.
The organisation called upon the masses to not follow such sermons that amount to stupidity and non-seriousness. Declaring that they reject Modi’s PR stunt, party spokesman Kanwar Pal Singh said: “People don’t need an event, they need hospitals, ventilators and testing labs to fight Covid-19, a livelihood package for daily wagers and migrant workers.” Failing to provide proper equipment, health kits, economic measures for the downtrodden and government’s assurance in case the virus further accelerates, the PM wants people to indulge in activities sans any logic. — TNS
