‘Honour them for service during crisis’
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi requesting the Central government to award the Bharat Ratna to the entire medical fraternity in honour of their service during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Mr. Kejriwal said that awarding the Bharat Ratna to doctors and paramedics as a community will recognise the sacrifice of all the doctors and paramedic staff who have lost their lives on duty and pay homage to the departed souls. “I want to request the Central government to award this year’s Bharat Ratna to “Indian Doctor”. By “Indian Doctor”, I mean the entire medical community — all doctors, nurses and paramedics should be given the award, collectively. This is the greatest manner in which we can pay our respect and homage to all those who martyred while serving the nation on COVID duties,” Mr. Kejriwal said in his letter.
