The maturity shown by the people during the lockdown, in a large country like India, is unprecedented, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday.
Addressing the BJP workers via video on the party’s 40th foundation day, he said: “The maturity shown by the people during the lockdown, in a large country like India, is unprecedented. No one could have imagined that the people will abide by this with such obedience and sense of service.”
“I state it with full responsibility that this is a long war against coronavirus pandemic. But we do not have to get tired or take a rest in this war. We have to emerge victoriously. Today, the country has only one goal and one resolve – to win this war,” he further said.
