'Yeh kya ch******* hai': Comedians Atul Khatri, Kunal Kamra, Sapan Verma react to PM Modi's video message |

Minutes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday reached out to the nation amid the lockdown to light up a candle or diya on April 5 at 9 p.m. for nine minutes to dispel the darkness and gloom brought by the outbreak of the deadly novel coronavirus, Indian comedians took to their social media handles and channelled an epic response to the same.

Modi appealed to citizens to respect the lockdown orders and not venture out at anytime. He reminded them once more that social distancing is the only way to flatten the graph of spiking cases across the nation despite all efforts.

This new task assigned by PM Modi is termed as an attempt to show coronavirus, the strength of Indian unity and 'light'.

"This Sunday, 5th April we have to challenge the COVID-19 pandemic, we have to introduce it to the power of light," PM Modi said in an address to the nation.A"We have to take Mahasankalp (the supreme oath) by 130 crore citizens to new heights. I want your 9 minutes at 9 p.m. on April 5," Modi added.

He then asked Indians to switch off lights in their homes, reach out from their windows, gates or balconies and light a candle or diya for 9 minutes. Even torches and mobile phone lights would also do.

"Switch off every light in the house, reach to your main gate or balcony and light a candle, diya, torch or your mobile's flash for 9 minutes," Modi said.

The Prime Minister, however, warned citizens not from groups or attend gatherings during this, and follow 'Lakshan Rekha' of social distancing.

"We should not cross the 'Laxman Rekha' of Social Distancing. It is the only way to break the corona chain," Modi said.

"It is my request to you all, we should not go on streets, lanes, and locality duirng these 9 minutes. We have to complete the task at our gates or balcony," he added.

The remarks came after several videos emerged on social media where people were seen taking to roads while they clapped to thank corona warriors on March 22, when Janata Curfew was called by PM Modi.

He lauded citizens' effort to follow lockdown guidelines and their unprecedented discipline and sense of service during coronavirus lockdown. He said that people have come together and resolved to fight corona, which is very inspiring.

Modi also said that Janata Curfew on March 22, was a success and had set an example for the world to follow. He claimed that various other countries were following the idea to thank health workers, other people involved in essential services during these hard times.
