Bollywood Stars Laud PM Modi’s Speech On Coronavirus
Updated : March 20, 2020 11:06 AM IST
Coronavirus has caused a pandemic, forcing every nation in the world to take necessary action. While China, Italy, South Korea and Iran have been among the worst hit nations, it had been speculated that India might get a huge hit from the novel COVID-19 disease if it spreads here. The virus is highly contagious and given our population density, it would be difficult to control spread if it affects large number of people. But the government and citizens seem to be armed and with only a few cases, India has been practicing self-quarantine and social distancing.
Yesterday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the ongoing pandemic in his speech. He asked the nation to observe Janta Curfew on 22nd March in an attempt to stop the spread. Many are impressed with the speech, including our favourite celebs. Right from Ajay Devgn to Akshay Kumar to Shabana Azmi, people took to social media to laud the PM’s efforts. Here is what they wrote:
