1) Help seniors (citizen)
2) Respect lockdown norms
3) Improve immunity
4) Download Aarogya Setu application
5) Help poor people
6) Don’t sack employee
7) Respect Frontline warriors
These seem like good things to follow, since all of them motivate Indians to help each other.
But the focus of news channels was on something else. Well, at least one of them.
Here is ABP News’ coverage of the PM’s address:

They counted that the PM folded his hands 7 times and showed viewers a picture of all those instances.
The point of this? Who knows! I thought we are beyond looking for meaning in things.
Anyhow, Twitter was highly amused by this, and here are some of the reactions.
The thing I like about ABP news is that they don’t believe in theory. They are data driven. They present hard hitting numbers. pic.twitter.com/Qn8qS1nMcL
