‘Congress is spreading falsehood,’ Dr. Harsh Vardhan tears into Manmohan Singh and Congress for deceptive the general public

3 min read

After former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the way to battle the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic, Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan has replied to the letter and has ripped aside Singh’s strategies point-by-point as he claimed that a lot of the strategies talked about within the letter have been applied by the federal government every week earlier.Stating that the Indian National Congress must admit that India has been doing very properly by way of vaccinations, Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan in his reply mentioned, “However, it does seem that those who drafted your letter or advised you, have done a great disservice to your standing by misleading you regarding material that is already in public domain. For example, take the point that you have mentioned about allowing import of vaccines that have already been approved by credible foreign authorities. You made this suggestion on April 18, 2021, but a decision on this had already been taken a week ahead of your suggestion, on April 11, 2021.”Commenting on Manmohan Singh’s suggestion concerning offering funds and different concessions to reinforce vaccine manufacturing, Dr Harsh Vardhan replied, “This decision had also been taken many days before receipt of your letter and multiple vaccine manufacturing entities have been funded by the government to immediately enhance production.”Highlighting the Congress leaders’ poor conduct amidst the pandemic, Harsh Vardhan wrote, “A sitting Chief Minister of your party created a dubious world record of sorts by being the only head of government directly inciting people against an indigenously developed vaccine. Some Congress leaders even shamed the vaccines in public but took their doses in private, quietly.”He added, “The irresponsible public pronouncements made by some of your leaders have resulted in a below national average vaccination coverage of senior citizens and even front-line workers in some of the Congress-ruled states. Please do note that it is these very same states that have also become the big contributors in the second wave of COVID-19 infection. The test positivity ratio in these states during the second wave is alarmingly high and they too could benefit from your counsel and wisdom.”Harsh Vardhan whereas taking to Twitter to publish his reply to Singh’s letter, tweeted, “History shall be kinder to you Dr Manmohan Singh ji if your offer of ‘constructive cooperation’ and valuable advice was followed by your @INCIndia leaders as well in such extraordinary times !”History shall be kinder to you Dr Manmohan Singh ji in case your provide of ‘constructive cooperation’ and useful recommendation was adopted by your @INCIndia leaders as properly in such extraordinary instances !Here’s my reply to your letter to Hon’ble PM Sh @narendramodi ji 👍 @PMOIndia pic.twitter.com/IJcz3aL2mo— Dr Harsh Vardhan (@drharshvardhan) April 19, 2021Constructive strategies and criticisms are all the time welcome however it appears that evidently Congress was seeking to rating a political level over the BJP via Manmohan Singh’s letter. It is pertinent to notice that states Congress-ruled states Maharashtra and Chattisgarh are pulling again India’s battle in opposition to the Chinese virus. Unfortunately, Manmohan Singh has been contaminated with the virus and TFI prays for his speedy restoration.
