“COVID-19 Does Not See Race, Religion, Caste Before Striking”: PM Modi

Prime Minister Modi said in a post in LinkedIn, “The next big ideas from India should find global relevance and application.”

New Delhi: Urging unity and brotherhood in the response towards COVID-19, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said the COVID-19 pandemic affects all equally.

Prime Minister said in a post on LinkedIn, “COVID-19 does not see race, religion, colour, caste, creed, language or border before striking. Our response and conduct thereafter should attach primacy to unity and brotherhood. We are in this together.”

“Unlike previous moments in history, when nations or societies faced off against each other, today we are together facing a common challenge. The future will be about togetherness and resilience,” Prime Minister said.

Prime Minister said in a post: “The next big ideas from India should find global relevance and application. They should have the ability to drive a positive change not merely for India but for the entire humankind.”

PM Modi said, “Logistics was previously only seen through the prism of physical infrastructure – roads, warehouses, ports. But logistical experts these days can control global supply chains through the comfort of their own homes.”

Prime Minister said, “With the right blend of the physical and the virtual, India can rise as the global nerve centre of complex modern multinational supply chains in the post-COVID-19 world. Let us rise to that occasion and capture this opportunity. I recommend you all to think about this and contribute to the discussion.”
