LUNCH WITH NARENDRA MODI

India is having a Coronavirus lockdown, but I am able to have lunch with Narendra Modi using a video link.

Well Modiji, I say, 111 people in India have allegedly died of the Coronavirus Covid-19.

In India, diarrhoeal diseases kill up to one million children, each year.

India has many millions of people with TB.

Modiji replies: "And there is also heart disease. What are you eating today?"



I explain to Modiji that I am having a simple lunch with Sunil and friends at a small railway station in Mumbai.

 

"Tell them to stay indoors," says Modiji.

But they have not got a home, I explain.

Modiji says: "Those migrants who have got a home should leave the cities and return to their villages."

I point out that several dozen Indians, including 5 children, have died while fleeing to their homes.

Among them was an 11-year-old child who starved to death because his family couldn’t get food due to the strict lockdown.

The above is an imagined lunch with Narendra Modi.
