Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi has questioned the export of COVID-19 vaccines, and asked if it is right to do so and put the lives of countrymen in danger.
He said vaccine shortage is a very serious problem during Corona times and is not a celebration.
Gandhi also called upon the central government to help states without any bias and help provide them with more vaccines.
“Shortage of vaccine in view of the rise in Corona cases is a very serious problem and not a celebration,” he said in a tweet in Hindi.
बढ़ते कोरोना संकट में वैक्सीन की कमी एक अतिगंभीर समस्या है, ‘उत्सव’ नहीं-
अपने देशवासियों को ख़तरे में डालकर वैक्सीन एक्सपोर्ट क्या सही है?केंद्र सरकार सभी राज्यों को बिना पक्षपात के मदद करे।
हम सबको मिलकर इस महामारी को हराना होगा।

“Is it right to export the vaccine and put our countrymen at risk. The central government should help all states without any bias. We all have to fight this pandemic together and defeat it,” he added.
Some states have been demanding more vaccines and the Congress is seeking the vaccine for all. The Centre, however, has accused some states of doing politics on the issue of vaccines.
