According to Indian media reports, on December 22, local time, Indian Prime Minister Modi delivered a speech on the 75th anniversary of India's independence (Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav), saying that India should play a key role in the new world order after the new crown epidemic and become a world leader.
In his speech, Modi stressed that 2047 is a good time for India to celebrate its 100th anniversary of independence. "At that time, the present generation will be in control of the affairs of the state, and the fate of the country will be in their hands," he said. It is therefore important to decide what we must instill in them now so that they can make a significant contribution to the country in the future. ”
Modi added: "We must stand up and fight for our rights, but what is greater is to fulfill our duties." Only when we faithfully fulfill our obligations can we naturally guarantee the rights of others. Therefore, as we celebrate the 75th anniversary of India's independence, a commitment to responsibility should be our highest priority, and a commitment to make a meaningful contribution to the country should be our main determination. The 75th anniversary of India's independence will sow the seeds of responsibility among young people. ”
Although Modi is optimistic about India's post-COVID-19 development, the current severe COVID-19 situation has overwhelmed India. According to Indian media reports, the data show that India added 85 new cases of Omilton strain infection on December 23, as of 23:00 on the same day, the cumulative number of cases of Omil krong strain infection in India reached 338, and nearly two-thirds of India had cases of infection with Omilton strain.
And because the strain of Olmikharong is spreading too quickly in India and the number of infected patients is plummeting, emergency measures have been taken across India: Madhya Pradesh has announced a curfew from 23:00 to 5:00 the next day, and schools will limit the number of students attending school to half; Maharashtra has announced that it will introduce new restrictions ahead of the year-end traditional festivals and New Year's celebrations to control the gathering of people.
For the imminent prevention and control of the new crown, Modi said that it is necessary to speed up the testing of samples of the Omiljung strain to ensure that relevant cases are identified in a timely manner and the spread of the virus is controlled. He noted that close contacts should be focused on areas with low COVID-19 vaccination rates, a rapid rise in confirmed COVID-19 cases, and weak health infrastructure, while strengthening the response to public health crises and increasing the reserve of basic health supplies and the number of medical personnel.
