The Hindu  

Trashing politics over Coronavirus vaccines and trying to allay fears, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the call on launching them was taken by scientists. In an interaction via video conferencing with health workers in his Lok Sabha constituency Varanasi, Mr. Modi referred indirectly to criticism over the emergency-use clearance given to Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin. ‘India is self-reliant’ The Hindu In Focus Podcast: Explaining India's Vaccine Diplomacy, in the neighbourhood and beyond “India is completely self-reliant when it comes to COVID-19 vaccine and is also helping many countries. Stating that the feedback from Varanasi will help in understanding the situation elsewhere also, the PM expressed the country’s gratitude to the scientist, healthcare and frontline workers and complemented Corona warriors for their contribution towards creating awareness about the pandemic and vaccination. “The country was better prepared to face the pandemic due to steps taken in Swachata Abhiyan that had created a culture of cleanliness,” said the PM adding that the change in medical infrastructure in Varanasi and surrounding areas in the last six years has helped the entire Purvanchal in the Corona times.
