BJP supporters are angry with Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri for helping Indian journalist, Vinod Dua, who has always been critical of the Bharatiya Janata Party. Dua along with his wife Padmavati Dua was admitted to a hospital after they tested positive for Covid-19 a few days ago.
Daughter, comedian Mallika Dua, recently took to Twitter to request for the drug Tocilizumab for her ailing mother.
Addressing Congress politician Deepender Hooda, she wrote, @DeependerSHooda sir my mother needs Tociliizumamab. She is in the ICU at Medanta. Could you please help.
Synopsis
Puri, in a series of tweets on Wednesday, said some of Congress leaders like Shashi Tharoor are betraying an almost childish stubbornness in admitting their fault about India s vaccine policy. The Congress party s narrative on the vaccines is getting increasingly bizarre by the day, Puri said.

The war of words between the two leaders comes amid the Congress-BJP duel over the vaccine policy.
Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri and Congress MP Shashi Tharoor sparred on Twitter, with the BJP leader accusing Congress leaders of fuelling vaccine hesitancy and Tharoor hitting back, saying when will the Centre take responsibility for its manifest failures of policy rather than pointing fingers at the Opposition.

The India government removed the COVID cap on airfares allowing a rise between 10% and 30%, depending on the duration.
The investors cheered the fare cap revision as IndiGo and SpiceJet s stocks jumped nearly 3% and 5%, respectively, on Friday (February 12).
The fuel prices that account for nearly 70% of the airlines cost crossed the $60 per barrel mark earlier this week, adding to the airlines operator s woes.In a big relief to bleeding airlines, the government on Thursday eased caps on airfares. The Indian air regulator extended the curbs on setting fares till March 31 but said the airlines could charge as much as 30% more of the earlier limit.
