AAP continues to remain aloof from Opposition with unclear ideology
The Hindu
Although it confronts BJP on selective issues, other parties are unsure of party’s stand
On Monday, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)’s official Twitter account listed out the Muslim-majority countries to which India-made vaccines had been sent by the Narendra Modi government as part of the ‘Vaccine Maitri’ programme. Pakistan was top on the list and the party said Prime Minister Modi sought votes from Indians but sent vaccines abroad. Two hours later, seeing the adverse reaction, an additional list of countries was posted. Pakistan is not among the 95 countries listed on the Ministry of External Affairs website that received India-made vaccines. Pakistan got the vaccines through COVAX — an initiative aimed at equitable access to the COVID vaccines. AAP national spokesperson Raghav Chaddha was sent a set of questions including on the reasons for the said tweet, but there has been no reply.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
