TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday interacted with four nurses, three of them also Indian-origin but stationed across the globe, to discuss their experiences as frontline warriors against novel coronavirus and described them as a “non-violent army”.
During the conversation, Vipin Krishnan, who works in Delhi”s All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) said: “Nurses don”t come under the risk allowance category of the central government. Both nurses and doctors. As healthcare workers, we are fighting this Covid-19 in the frontline like the army.
It”s like, we can compare it to a biowar. It is not a biowar, but a virus, a small microscopic organism that is challenging the whole world and the country. So, we are fighting like the army or the air force. I”m not comparing this with our forces. But at least I think you will agree with that we are fighting as an army.”
In response, Rahul Gandhi said: “Yes, you are a non-violent army.”In earlier interactions, Rahul Gandhi had videoconference conversations with former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan, Nobel laureate Abhijit Banerjee, epidemiologist Johan Giesecke and industrialist Rajiv Bajaj.
