As somebody who knows aviation personnel too well, it is sad to see responsible people spreading fake/misleading news just because they have a problem with a party. Here’s how India has been fighting the pandemic. #Thread (1/n) 
India started thermal screening of passengers returning from China from as early as January. So the claim made on above screenshots stand false. further, screening everyone is a gradual process. (2/n)
You cannot start screening all the passengers suddenly at a time, especially when there is no threat from any other country. Escalation has to be gradual, or else it creates unnecessary fear and panic. (3/n)
If you want to counter saying that ANI and TOI are godi media, then here’s NDTV and live mint reporting the same news. (4/n)
India was one of the first countries to seal its borders, prepare of quarantine facilities, track down passengers who flew in from corona hit countries, keeping a check on them etc. And that’s probably why we have relatively less cases. (5/n)
Not only that, India even evacuated its citizens from corona affected countries. It even helped foreign citizens to get evacuated. Our caller tunes spread awareness. I know it is irritating, but that’s a brilliant way to spread awareness in the rural areas. (6/n)
Just like medical, aviation professional are on the frontline despite the threat.
Let us for once keep the differences aside. Let's not get divided at this crucial time. We have forgotten that we are Indians first, BJP/Congresswallahs later. Time to remember that again. (n/n)
