'Many lives could have been saved if...': Manish Sisodia on vaccine export

India TV News  

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia Sunday attacked the Centre over the export of coronavirus vaccines, saying many lives could have been saved in India if the doses were given to people in the country first. "It's a heinous crime committed by the Central government to sell vaccines to other countries only for its image management at a time when people were dying in our own country," he told an online briefing. "For appreciation from the international fraternity, the Central government committed an offence and deprioritised vaccinating our own country," Sisodia charged, claiming around one lakh people died in the country due to Covid-19 since March this year. The Deputy Chief Minister requested the Central government to learn from countries like Canada, the US, France and other European nations and prioritise vaccinating all Indian citizen, and make vaccine accessible to all.
