Narendra Modi
The prime minister, Narendra Modi, called for unity and brotherhood in the country’s response towards the fight against the new coronavirus, Covid-19, and said the virus doesn’t see religion and caste before infecting a victim.
The official handle of the Prime Minister’s Office tweeted Modi’s statement.
COVID-19 does not see race, religion, colour, caste, creed, language or borders before striking.

Our response and conduct thereafter should attach primacy to unity and brotherhood.
We are in this together: PM @narendramodi
This comes after the Islamophobic outrage in the country that erupted when it emerged that Muslim attendees at religious congregation organized by the Tablighi Jamaat, a Muslim group, got infected from a “single source” and then unwittingly infected more than 4,000 people all across the country. The meeting was held at Delhi’s Nizamuddin area between March 10 and 13.
