'Killed The Purpose': Vir Das, Richa Chadha And Others Slam People For Violating Janta Curfew
India took a call to clap and cheer for health workers who are working round the clock to provide services to those who are infected with the deadly virus. People followed a spontaneous Janta curfew after PM Modi appealed that the citizens should remain indoors for most of the day.
On the 22nd of March, India took a call to clap and cheer for health workers, who are working round the clock to provide services to those who are infected with the deadly virus. From clapping to rooting for health workers, people showed enthusiasm and zeal and being grateful.
People followed a spontaneous ¡®Janta curfew¡¯ after PM Modi appealed that the citizens should remain indoors for most of the day.
However, it was ironic when there was a burst of activity in the evening as families emerged in a collective gesture of thanksgiving to medical professionals, health and sanitation workers for doing their job even in a pandemic situation. Many people forgot the entire logic behind Janta Curfew and collected in large groups.
Celebs are unhappy to see the situation and they wish people had acted more responsibly.
Richa Chadha shared a video from Mumbai and wrote: ¡°Stupid level max. This is the opposite of a #jantacurfew.¡± The video she shared had people celebrating on the streets during the 14-hour curfew recommended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Slamming people who failed to understand the real logic behind Janata Curfew, celebs wrote:
There's people now walking and chilling outside. Stupidity....that's our virus.
