LAHORE: Minister for Health Dr Yasmin Rashid’s statement that people should get ‘vaccinated themselves against Covid-19 at their own risk’ provided fodder to the opposition and the treasury and both sides grilled her for ‘creating confusion on the issue’.
In Tuesday’s session, which again started over two hours late, Saeed Akbar Niwani of the PTI was first to wonder: “If the (Punjab) government cannot guarantee safety of the vaccines, why is it importing it? The health minister is creating confusion and the government would be held responsible if anything goes wrong”.
Samiullah Khan of the PML-N was the next to fire a salvo.
