He said about this, 'Modi Ji has come out with a resolution to liberate the country from single-use plastic. The responsibility of making this movement a mass movement rests with the people of the country and all the BJP workers. He said that it takes about 400 years for plastic to be destroyed. It is also harmful to our health and environment. This is also adversely affecting animals. Let us take a pledge not to make plastic bags today.'
