Taking note of the “lax” Covid-19 vaccination campaign in Punjab, the AAP has accused the state and the central governments of gross negligence, while demanding the resignation of Health Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu.
In a joint statement today, senior party leader and MLA Aman Arora and Youth Wing president and MLA Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer said on one hand, the country was fearing the third Covid wave; on the other, only 5.35 per cent of the population in Punjab had been fully vaccinated. “This means that more than 94 per cent of the population is at risk of Covid. This amounts to incompetence of the state and central governments which has left the people of Punjab in the lurch,” they added. — TNS
