Letter to PM calls for uniform, free COVID immunisation for all amid crisis
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi stating that the vaccine policy of the Centre is “highly discriminatory and anti-people”. “I am afraid, this policy is highly discriminatory and anti-people. Moreover, it appears that there is a bias in favour of market against the interest of common people,” Ms. Banerjee said in the letter addressed to Mr. Modi. Seeking an urgent intervention by the Central government in this regard, Ms. Banerjee said she strongly feels that “Indians should get free vaccine regardless of age, caste, creed, location at one price, irrespective of who pays — the Centre or the States”.
