We pay homage to all the people who lost their lives due to deadly coronavirus. We pray for peace. Media personalities disguised as vultures are busy playing with the sentiments of people in India. When the world is struggling to contain the spread of the second wave of Coronavirus pandemic, the media is busy with its propaganda-based reporting against the Indian prime minister Narendra Modi by quoting news and data from unreliable and unverified sources. Their callousness knows no boundary.
How can we say that?
Getty Images, a British-American media firm, has been providing a plethora of images representing multiple Indian funeral pyres lit ablaze on its website. Any media group across the globe can buy these images from here. Not only this, the images are available in three different sizes, with the largest one costing Rs 23,000. Death in India is not cheap. Indian funeral pyres have become a source for the western world to highlight the claimed failure in tackling the second wave by the Modi government. journalists were seen making fun while describing the situation of Indians during COVID-19.
In the meantime, the images of unfortunate funeral pyres, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, have now become valuable commodities, bought and sold. I wonder where the journalism code of ethics is? Where is human sensibility? How far would hate mongers go?

In the last 75 years after independence, Indians suffered miserably from poverty, malnutrition, diseases, and death. The socialist governments led to the further deterioration of infrastructure and health facilities in the government.
The western media’s insensible efforts to create panic and shock waves among non-Indians are extremely unprofessional and derogatory.
Big-time media players like Washington Post, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and The Guardian among many others have been running a biased narrative against the Bengal election rallies held by BJP. They are busy blaming Modi and Amit Shah for the sudden rise in the number of Coronavirus patients. However, they completely ignore the large rallies led by incumbent CM Mamta Banerjee. Foreign media also need to understand that it is the Election Commission of India that allows political parties to run campaigns and hold rallies, not the central government.
In the last seven years, the Modi government laid the foundation stone of 14 world-class AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences), out of which ten are already functional and four are under construction. As per a statement in November 2019 by the health ministry, all 22 new AIIMS will be functional by February 2025. Not only this, it is also considering proposals for establishing AIIMS in Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura, and Mizoram.
In December 2014, the Government of India inaugurated “Mission Indradhanush” to achieve complete vaccination coverage for all children and pregnant women at a rapid pace. The final objective of Mission Indradhanush was to ensure full immunization with all available vaccines for children up to two years of age and pregnant women.
Apart from this, Modi has been the brand ambassador of promoting yoga on a global level and taking it to the international diaspora of the UN. The UN announced 21 June as the International Day of Yoga. For years, Modi has been promoting Ayurveda wellness initiatives.
