Congress leader Kapil Sibal has accused the BJP of doing politics on the issue of vaccination after the ruling party MP opposed discussion in the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on this issue. Kapil Sibal in a tweet on Thursday said, "Politics is Everything". "Population fully vaccinated: May 24:75 nations ahead of India, June 1:81 ahead, June 17:89 ahead," he said.
"Only 3.5 per cent fully vaccinated. In PAC, BJP oppose discussion on vaccination policy!" he further added. The government on Wednesday informed that the cumulative number of Covid-19 vaccine doses administered in the country has reached more than 26.53 crore (26,53,17,472).
Meanwhile, a single day rise of 67,208 new Coronavirus infections were recorded taking India's total tally of Covid-19 cases to 2,97,00,313, while the active cases declined to 8,26,740, the lowest after 71 days, according to the Union Health Ministry data updated on Thursday.
