A Friend in Need
17 February, 2020
`A Friend in need is a friend indeed` is an age old maxim and our Chinese friends have stood by it a number of times - some very crucial - for us. We have been also claiming every now and then that our mutual friendship was higher than the Everest and deeper than the Pacific. But I think now is the time to honour our such rhetorics. Though China is braving the peril of Novel Coronavirus admirably well yet, is facing a kind of `ostracism` by many nations. We should, therefore, send a high powered delegation - led by the PM himself - on a `Good Will` mission to China to show our solidarity with them and to the world that we stand side by side with China in her such hour trial and tribulation. Needless to say that the Chinese shall never forget our such friendly gesture ever.
