Irrfan Khan Supports National Fast Under Karona Kuch Campaign

By News Helpline – 9th April 2020

Corona Virus Pandemic has caused a lot of panic and anxiety among everyone. Recently migrant workers had to flee back to their homes without any proper means, transport, food, water or safety gears. Some walked 100 kilometre’s bare foot and now superstar Irrfan Khan supports a National Fast to amends the wrong ‘we’ the people and state has done to workers.

The actor Irrfan Khan just took to his social media and shared a poster of National Fast under #KaronaKuch campaign by Gram Seva Sangha. He wrote, “I support this because I believe we need to change from the roots #gramsevasangha #oneworld”

Samaj Sevaks, constructive organizations and Gandhians from across the country have strongly felt the need to atone, at the time of this Corona Crisis, for the sins that we have committed against migrant workers. We are all jointly responsible for the utter neglect of the village poor during the last few decades, which made them migrate desperately to cities and live under sub-human conditions.

On behalf of all the citizens and in continuation of our campaign #KaronaKuch, Gram Seva Sangh has decided to give this call for a national fast.

The Fast shall begin on Friday, 10April 2020, at 6 am and end at 6 pm. On that day we shall fast from wherever we are. During the fast, we shall introspect and decide as to, how to undertake the difficult task of strengthening the village economy and village society in the days to come.

Irrfan Khan recently made a full recovery from Cancer and was seen in Angrezi Medium film. Helmed by Homi Adajania and produced under the production banner Maddock Films. The film also starred Kareena Kapoor Khan, Radhika Madan and Deepak Dobriyal.

With its theatrical performance affected by the closing of cinemas due to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic, plans for a re-release were cancelled and the film was made available digitally less than a month after its release.
