New Delhi:
Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan today slammed Congress Member of Parliament Manish Tewari for raising questions over the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines being administered as India launched its nationwide vaccination drive.
Lashing out at the Congress, the Health Minister accused the party of spreading distrust and rumors about the vaccine.
"Manish Tewari and Congress are only passionate about spreading distrust and rumors. Open your eyes, sharing photos of eminent Doctors and government functionaries getting inoculated," Harsh Vardhan tweeted.
Further slamming Congress, Harsh Vardhan even quoted English writer Charles Caleb Colton: "So blinded are we by our passions that we suffer more to be damned than to be saved."
