This discussion gained further momentum when Prime Minister Narendra Modi mentioned the ‘Corona crisis’ in one of his speeches in Parliament. Let us know how much truth is there in these speculations and what message PM Modi actually gave.

Why did speculation of lockdown arise on social media?

In fact, in view of the current LPG crisis in the country and the uproar in the Middle East, users on the social media platform ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) are expressing various apprehensions regarding the lockdown. A user named Gaurav Tomar shared a picture of PM Modi speaking in Parliament and wrote, can Modi ji announce a lockdown in view of the deepening fuel crisis in the country? At the same time, another user claimed that he is hearing the sound of another lockdown in the country. Many such posts have increased the uneasiness among the general public.

What did PM Modi say in Lok Sabha?

Behind all these rumors is the speech of PM Modi which he gave in the Lok Sabha on Monday. Expressing concern over the war that has been going on in West Asia for the last three weeks, the Prime Minister had said that the impact of this global crisis is going to be long lasting. Appealing to the countrymen to remain united, he said that just as we faced the challenge of the pandemic with unity during the Corona period, in the same way now we need to be ready again. PM Modi clearly said that the current situation has posed unprecedented challenges to India’s economic, national and human security, which we will have to face with restraint, patience and a calm mind.

Is there really going to be a lockdown?

If you are also troubled by these things on social media, then let us tell you that at present there is no official announcement or preparation like lockdown in the country. The things going on on social media are just speculations and discussions. Prime Minister Modi had mentioned ‘Corona’ in his speech only as an example of encouraging the countrymen and maintaining restraint in difficult times, and not to indicate any restrictions.

That dreadful period of Corona period

It is noteworthy that when strict measures like lockdown were taken for the first time in India to fight Corona virus, more than 2.6 billion of the world’s population was forced to remain confined to their homes. The memories of the restrictions of that period are still fresh in people’s minds, which is why people get scared when they hear the word ‘lockdown’.
