Sahara India Pariwar Chairman, Subrata Roy, on Tuesday emphasised on the
need for resumption of economic activities, adding that if it is not
done, millions of people will be pushed into "severe unemployment and
starvation".
In a video message, Roy said that the country will
have to continue with the economic and social activities along with the
rapid spread of the pandemic.
"If the economic activities are not
resumed now, the economy of the country will get in tatters, and
millions of people will be pushed into severe unemployment and
starvation," he said.
Roy went on to say that when the lockdown
started, the front-line warriors like government officials, doctors,
healthcare workers, police personnel and community leaders were full of
enthusiasm but now, this seems to be "fading away".
"Every day we
are witnessing painful stories of sufferings of infected people and
their care takers. The situation is almost chaotic."
He further
said that the role of the government and healthcare organisations is
less important while the role of the people is more significant and
challenging.
Noting that the government and healthcare services
have their limitations, he asked people to be self-warriors in this
fight against the virus.
"In other words, now we have to depend
more on ourselves. We will have to be self-warriors in this fight
against the pandemic. We will have to be extremely alert now," he added.
"We
must fulfill this responsibility of ours. We have to keep cooperating
with local administration and all the front-line corona warriors. We
will have to strengthen our resolve that we have to defeat the
pandemic."
