"India Sent More Vaccines Abroad Than...": Yashwant Sinha's Attack On PM

Mr Sinha's criticism comes amid the arrest of 17 persons in Delhi over posters that mushroomed in the city criticising the Centre's vaccine policy. The posters were put up allegedly by a leader of the ruling Aam Aadmi Party.

Former Union minister and senior Trinamool leader Yashwant Sinha tweeted a video clip of a speech by the Indian representative at a discussion in the United Nations to target Prime Minister Narendra Modi over what has come to be known as the government's "vaccine diplomacy". It was one of several defiant tweets from opposition leaders after the arrest of 17 people by the Delhi Police, which reports to the Union Home Ministry, for criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the ongoing vaccine shortage. The list includes Rahul Gandhi of the Congress and Mohua Moitra of the Trinamool Congress. A 10 sec video that EXPOSES MODI.
