Congress leader in the Lok Sabha, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, on Thursday asked Speaker Om Birla to let the Parliament's Public Accounts Committee examine the government's coronavirus vaccination policy.
His demand comes in wake of shortage of vaccines and many state government floating global tenders for procurement.
"Today, the policy towards vaccinating the people for tackling the Covid-19 pandemic has become central and of utmost importance. As the lives and livelihood of the people of the country, as a whole, are dependent on an effective 'Vaccination Policy', I would request you to kindly permit the Public Accounts Committee to meet and deliberate upon this subject matter with the representatives of the government i.e, the Ministry of Health, the ICMR and others concerned (By any mode either physical or virtual, depending upon the Covid situation).
