which means "the world is one family". And there's been no such time in
human history that this concept has been tested and found to be true.
Now, the world is engulfed in Corona virus, and our fight against it will be a
testament to humanity. Today I appeal to the buying houses - the buyers of
the Indian textile and apparel industry. For years you have enjoyed the
craftsmanship of our textile industry. Our Prime Minister has recently an-
nounced measures to protect the rights and wages of our workers. Today,
I appeal to you to stand together. Let's show the world that we can do
commerce with compassion. Do not cancel a single order that has been
placed. Delivery schedules can be reworked and/or payment plans can be
extended. Let us decide to work together.
Let's give the world an example that we can do commerce with compas-
sion. The Ministry of textiles and the government of India will stand shoul-
der to shoulder with the apparel industry. In these times of challenges, I
appeal to you yet again. Help us do commerce with compassion.
