New Delhi:Â Faced with the reality that ‘Maa Ganga’ washing away the virus wasn’t, in fact, an appropriate way to combat COVID-19 at the massive Kumbh Mela being held at Haridwar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has now said that participation in the religious festival should now be “symbolic”.
Modi tweeted that he spoke to Swami Avdheshanand Giri of the Juna Akhara over the telephone and enquired about the health of saints, many of whom have contracted the virus. “I prayed that two ‘shahi snan’ have taken place and Kumbh (participation) should now be kept symbolic. This will boost the fight against this crisis,” Modi tweeted in Hindi.
