"While we must appreciate all efforts that showcase our solidarity and demonstrate our resolve to fight Covid, these can't be substitute for a robust, well thought-out plan and response that is rooted in scientific evidence and is guided by data and best professional experience," Kishor said in a tweet.His remarks came after Modi on Friday once again reached out to the nation amid the 21-day nationwide lockdown and urged people to light a candle or "diya" on April 5 at 9 p.m. for nine minutes to dispel the darkness and gloom brought about by the outbreak of the deadly novel coronavirus."This Sunday, April 5, we have to challenge the coronavirus pandemic, we have to introduce it to the power of light," PM Modi said in an address to the nation."We have to take Mahasankalp (the supreme oath) by 130 crore citizens to new heights. I want your 9 minutes at 9 p.m. on April 5," Modi said.He then asked Indians to switch off lights in their homes, reach out from their windows, gates or balconies and light a candle or diya for 9 minutes.
