As the country is grappling with the second wave of the Wuhan Virus, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi with a list of suggestions one of which is calling for a complete lockdowon of the country. He also raised doubts over the efficacy of made-in-India vaccines and asked him to share the study findings with the world.
Rahul Gandhi also said the government’s failures in containing the pandemic have made “another devastating national lockdown almost inevitable”. This is the second letter he has written to the PM after the second wave of Covid-19 hit India.
“Your government’s lack of a clear and coherent Covid and vaccination strategy… has placed India in a highly dangerous position,” Gandhi said.
By writing this letter, Rahul Gandhi has again questioned India’s ability to develop an indigenous vaccine. When Bharat Biotech announced it has developed Covaxin, the Congress party went all out to question its efficacy and in that process create doubt in the minds of average Indians.
In his letter to the PM Gandhi said, “The pandemic has demonstrated that our size, genetic diversity and complexity make India fertile ground for the virus to rapidly mutate, transforming itself into a more contagious and more dangerous form. The double and triple mutant strains that we are currently grappling with are only the beginning, I fear,”.
