Anupam Kher admits Modi govt made mistakes in handling India's COVID-19 situation

Modi government's biggest supporter actor, Anupam Kher, has that he believed the government "had slipped" in the Covid crisis and it was important to hold it responsible. In an interview with NDTV, the actor said it is high time that the government should understand that there’s more to life than image building. He also mentioned that the government somewhere failed in managing the health crisis and forced the country to face such situations. “It is wrong time for another political party to use this failure for their advantage. Criticism is valid in lots of cases,” he asserted. He also believes that the government should do something for the people.  Anupam Kher also talked about the floating bodies being recovered on the river Ganga. The actor said that only an inhuman person will not get affected. 

A few days ago news was reported that around 100 bodies were recovered floating on the banks of River Ganga in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. The government has ordered an investigation into the matter. India has seen more than three lakh coronavirus cases daily for 20 days now and today, it reported a record 4,205 deaths in a day. Anupam Kher through his foundation has been doing his bit for India's COVID-19 relief work. Anupam Kher Foundation in collaboration with Dr. Ashutosh Tewari (Global Cancer Foundation, USA) and Baba Kalyani (Bharat Forge, India), recently started an initiative called “Project Heal India”. Through this initiative, the aim is to aid in the current fight against COVID-19 across India by providing medical aid and other relief during these unprecedented times. Through the project, the organizations will provide critical equipment and other life-supporting devices to needy institutions and hospitals across India. The first consignment of CrossVent Ventilators (ICU Critical Care), Medtronic Ventilators, ResMed non-invasive ventilation devices, and oxygen concentrators are expected to arrive in India within the week. Project Heal India will also continue to raise funds, medicines, and other necessary relief material to help our people and our community at large.
