“For us, this time of crisis is the time for extending help to those that need it. That is why countries across the world have looked towards India for help during this crisis and we too have reached out to them,” he said.
The prime minister further said that the teachings of Buddha stated that human beings should constantly strive to overcome difficult situations and urged everyone to work together during this pandemic.
“The goals and standards of our success change with time, but we need to keep in mind is that our work should be done with a sense of compassion and service for mankind,” he said.
