World facing biggest crisis since world wars: PM


Bengaluru, Jun 1 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said the world is facing its biggest crisis since the two world wars amid the Covid pandemic. He was addressing a Bengaluru varsity's silver jubilee celebration on Monday.

"Like the world changed pre and post world war, the same way pre and post Covid world will be different," Modi said through a video link while inaugurating the 25 years celebration of the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS).

Appreciating the efforts of the medical community, Modi said the root of India's fight against Covid is the hard work of the medical community and the corona warriors.

"In fact doctors and medical workers are like soldiers but without the soldier's uniform," Modi said.

Karnataka Chief Minister B. S. Yediyurappa, Governor Vajubhai Vala, Medical Education Minister K. Sudhakar, Deputy Chief Minister C. N. Ashwathnarayan were among those who participated in the event.

Maintaining physical distance and wearing masks, the leaders sat far apart, listening to Modi speak on a giant screen.

"Participated in the silver jubilee celebrations of RGUHS along with Vala and Yediyurappa. Modi inaugurated the event and addressed the gathering," tweeted Sudhakar.

Sudhakar said the prime minister will flag off the 'Covid19 Innovation Challenge Hackathon', a collaboration of talented minds from top institutes to showcase solutions.

The state government established the medical varsity through the Rajiv Gandhi Health Sciences University Act, 1994, with the objective of setting up a varsity for the purpose of proper, systematic education, teaching, training and research in modern medicine.

    One man is responsible for the following:

    1. Delay in screening and lock-down
    2. Sudden lock-down putting the lives of migrants to distress
    3. No proper PPE and tools to health workers in time
    4. For many days migrants walked thousands of kilometers with no food, water or shelter on the way.
    5. Lately trains carried some of them but with too many hardships of taking many days for one/ two days journey.
    6. Economy is destroyed

    But this man never displayed any remorse for his actions which put all the citizens at risk.

What have you done as the govt to face this crisis or have you let others to face this crisis????????..... No, only tears in front of the media for easy and cheap votes gathering mechanism.
