People across India responded positively to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's '9 pm, 9-min' appeal to defeat the coronavirus in the country. This was done to show solidarity with the people working hard to save the lives and also to show the nation’s unity during this crisis time. While majority of the nation did its duty, there were a few who marred the moment by bursting the crackers and coming out in large numbers on roads violating social distancing and lockdown.
After the incident cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin was shocked to see people buying crackers even during the lockdown and questioned who is selling crackers even now. “But I really do wonder where all these people bought their crackers from and of course ( when is the most important Q) !!” he tweeted. On Sunday, the cricketers, Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar, Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, and Suresh Raina lit diyas standing in the balcony of their homes and hoped for these troubled times to come to an end soon.
