Rahul Gandhi bats for vaccines for all amid massive Covid-19 spike

New Delhi/IBNS: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday spoke in favour of the Covid-19 vaccination drive for all Indians at a time the country is witnessing massive spike in daily cases.

Rahul tweeted, "It’s ridiculous to debate needs & wants. Every Indian deserves the chance to (have) a safe life."

The former Congress president's tweet came on a day India registered 1,15,736 new cases, the highest single-day figure since the outbreak of the virus last year.

During the same period, 630 people also died due to the virus. The total death toll due to the virus now stands at 1,66,177.

Meanwhile, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) on Tuesday sent a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to make vaccines available for all people aged 18 or above.

Since Mar 1, the government has expanded the vaccination drive to all aged 45 or above.
