Sonia taken COVID-19 jabs, government should inoculate all instead of creating non-issues: Congress

Harsh Vardhan is India’s Health Minister and “he should know that Congress president has taken both the vaccination doses of Covishield”, the Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said.

Sonia Gandhi has taken both doses of the Covishield vaccine, the Congress said on Thursday following questions from the BJP and asked the government to follow the ‘raj dharma’ of vaccinating all Indians instead of creating non-issues. The Congress president’s daughter Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has taken her first dose of the vaccine and her son and Rahul Gandhi will take his shot post Covid recovery as advised by doctors, party chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said while hitting out at the BJP for raising doubts on whether the Gandhis had got their jabs. Several BJP leaders have raised questions over the Gandhis’ vaccinations and accused them and the party of creating “vaccine hesitancy” in the country.
