Urmila Matondkar says 'hatred & bigotry' bigger threat to India than 'Coronavirus'

As coronavirus wrecks havoc in 70 countries around the world with over 3,000 deaths reported worldwide, India has stayed relatively unscathed. With two new cases reported today, one in the nation's capital and the other in Telangana, the total count of Indian patients has now gone up to five — a trivial tally when one considers our proximity and close business ties with China, the hotbed of the epidemic.

Now Bollywood actress Urmila Matondkar has commented on the novel virus. She tweeted,"How deadly n scary is #coronavirusindia is a genuine threat n concern but what about the bigger virus of hatred n bigotry that’s decaying n killing us already..when can that be eradicated ?? #DelhiRiot2020 Let’s please work on that."
