Feed the needy during the time of Covid lockdown : G M Shaheen

Srinagar, May 21 (KNS): Democratic Party president G.M Shaheen said The ongoing nationwide lockdown and stay home advisory by the government in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic has hit the poor and daily wage labourers.

As per the statement issued to Kashmir news service (KNS), Shaheen said the covid-19 pandemic, has affected the lives of some of the most vulnerable communities across the J&K, such as labourers, waste pickers,  auto walla It is to cushion the impact of the crisis on these sections and to ensure their access to essentials,

Shaheen appealed to the governor Administration to reach out to the labours poor people auto wallas to provide them do waqt ki roti. But, the poor didn’t decide that. We decided it for them. And the latest affirmation of this benign judgement comes from the horse’s mouth.

Shaheen said If a fed stomach is the ultimate criterion, then governments and institutions must immediately stop including the poorest of the poor in their big, collective dreams for society. With only two meals a day the poor cannot contribute to your fanciful dreams.

shaheen said The ongoing coronavirus pandemic is estimated to put 10 lakh people in Jammu and Kashmir at the risk of falling deeper into poverty. If not for J&K’s ability and desire to feed them, it would have been a cause for worry, Shaheen said.(KNS)
