PM Narendra Modi in his address to the nation today at 9 am urged Indians to light a candle on April 5 at 9 pm to fight COVID-19 darkness. It should continue for 9 minutes. While everyone is busy debating over it, there are many on Twitter who are quick to see a Bollywood opportunity in this. They have flooded the social media site with a barrage of memes.
