Congressional leader Rahul Gandhi questioned the government on Sunday about its strategy to deal with the coronavirus pandemic in India. On Twitter, he also mocked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who will celebrate his Mann ki Baat today.
“It is a justified question, but how long will India wait for the government’s response? I hope Covid’s access strategy would have been ‘Mann ki Baat,’ ”Gandhi tweeted. He also attached a screenshot of a news article on the development of the Covid-19 vaccine.
PM Modi will address the nation through the 69th edition of his ‘Mann ki Baat’ show. The outreach talk focuses on a variety of topics.
The latest episode of Mann Ki Baat comes a day after the prime minister’s pre-recorded video address to the UN General Assembly, where he expressed concern about the pace of United Nations reform, its response to challenges such as terrorism. and the Covid-19 pandemic. .
Prime Minister Modi assured the international community that India’s coronavirus vaccine production and delivery capacity will help all of humanity in the fight against the pandemic.
“As the largest vaccine producing country in the world, I want to give one more assurance to the global community today. India’s vaccine production and distribution capacity will be used to help all of humanity fight this crisis. In India and in our neighborhood, we are moving forward with phase 3 clinical trials in India. India will also help all countries to improve their cold chain and storage capacities for vaccine delivery, ”he said.
Prime Minister Modi said that even during these very difficult times of the terrible pandemic, India’s pharmaceutical industry has shipped essential medicines to more than 150 countries.
Gandhi had previously attacked the Center over the Covid-19 vaccine, saying there should already have been a strategy and said the government’s alleged “lack of preparedness” is “alarming.”
He had demanded that the government clearly define an inclusive and equitable vaccine access policy to ensure their affordability and fair distribution.
