Popular Indian film director and producer, Anurag Kashyap also known vocal political commentary on social media platform Twitter, slammed the Narendra Modi led government after it decided to extend the lockdown for two more weeks across the country.
Anurag took to twitter to express his anguish over the government’s unpreparedness to deal with the pandemic and went on to write that the government lacked strategy, plan and money to counter the situation. He also added that this will result in continuation and extension of lockdown and that will keep going on.
He also called on all parties, economists, scientists and corporate to come together to find a ‘workable solution’ to the situation but asserted that the initiative should come from the Prime Minister himself.
“Lockdowns will keep going on.. they’re not going to stop.The government has no plan, no strategy and has no money either. It’s time for all parties, economists, scientists, corporates to come together, And find a workable solution. Initiative has to come from the PM himself” Anurag wrote on twitter.
The government on Friday evening announced extension of nation-wide lockdown for two more weeks effective from May 4, to cap the spread of Corona Virus in the country.
The move by the government has so far received mixed reactions as a section of citizens have blamed the government and its incompetence of delivering during the testing times while the other section was seen lauding the efforts of the government.

Pakistan reports two more polio cases; Total tally now 52
ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.
“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.
The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.
Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.
There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
