Book all involved in sale of Covid vaccines: BJP

Chandigarh, June 4

The BJP today slammed the Congress government for allegedly commercialising the sale of Covid vaccines at a time when Punjab had recorded the highest mortality rate in the country.

National general secretary Tarun Chugh said a criminal case needed to be registered against all those involved in the vaccine “scam” under which the doses provided by the Centre were sold on commercial rates to private hospitals, which in turn, made a huge profit out of it at the cost of poor and needy people.

Chugh said this was black marketing by the government. “All this has been happening when Punjab last month recorded 2.7 per cent death rate which is among the highest in the country,” he said, urging the Centre to take action. — TNS
