- All money, thus, collected should be spent on medical equipment, drugs and feeding starving jobless poor.
- Heed to UNO warning: Corona is feared to bring miseries/starvation to 40 crores workers in India.
- Lift lockdown selectively or partially so that “Cure may not prove worse than disease”.
- Instead of invoking ESMA- an infamous statute of Emergency, Government should manage the Public Distribution System in a better way.
- Even if there is no constitutional guarantee, the Centre should not go back on releasing the promised compensation amount to Kerala and Punjab for the revenue loss they suffered on implementation of GST.

- Remember Dr. Ambedkar saying: Bhakti/ worshipping may lead to salvation but political hero-worshiping is a sure road to dictatorship.
- Laudably, Muslims performed last rites of a Hindu woman died of Corona in Indore.
