During his speech, PM Modi said, “Our this effort on March 22 will be a symbol of our restraint and following our duty in the interest of the nation. The success of Janata Curfew, its experience will prepare us for future challenges.”
“I want that on March 22, we express our gratitude to them. At 5 pm on Sunday, we should stand on doors, balconies, windows of our homes and express our gratitude for five minutes,” he said, adding that people can do so by clapping or ringing bells or by banging utensils.
