| PM Narendra Modi Scrolls Down His Contact List to Dial Up Ex-Presidents |
India, 5th April, 2020: The day, on which PM Narendra Modi calls for a blackout of 9 minutes at 9pm tonight by switching of the electricity bulbs and then symbolically winning over darkness by candling diyas and baati, candlesticks, torch lights or even flash of the mobile phones, the event that he termed it as a unity call, also carries political significance since PM Modi today dialed up two of Former Presidents Pranab Mukherji and Pratibha Patil, two of Former Prime Ministers Dr, Manmohan Singh and HD Devegowda and other Senior Leaders from Major Opposition Parties to reportedly discuss the corona outbreak of the country.
He also had a telephonic conversation with Congress's Sonia Gandhi, Samajwadi Party's Mulayam Singh and Akhilesh Yadav, Trinamool chief and Bengal Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee, Odisha's Naveen Patnaik, south leaders KCR, MK Stalin, and ally Parkash Singh Badal.
PM's call to the opposition was mainly to discuss the ongoing situation of Corona outbreak and resultant pan India lockdown to combat it. PM Modi finally made it to take the consultations from the opposition on the modalities of lifting of lockdown.
PM Modi also has announced a video conference on 8th of April with the opposition leaders. This conference telephonic call today carries a significance in wake of his unity call. Does Mr. Modi now want to go ahead with esteem co-operations from the opposition?
In a democracy like India, co-operation from everyone is the only driving fuel. Perhaps PM Modi understands this better and therefore want to implement a sheer co operation and participation of everyone in the democracy. At this crucial moment, this sort of attempt tries to lit up unity among all.
