Sukhbir Singh Badal – President, Akali Dal:

Akali Dal demands a high court probe into diversion of vaccines to private players at hefty margins to create artificial shortage.

Vaccines procured @ Rs 400 /dose sold to private hospitals for Rs 1060 and are available to common man at Rs 1560. This is a scam

Congress govt playing with people’s lives. Punjab health minister Balbir Singh should be sacked.

CS Punjab Vini Mahajan should also not act like a market salesman for private institutions by encouraging people to get vaccinated at inflated rates

Rahul Gandhi who has demanded free vaccines for all should tell what he has to say to a common man forced to pay Rs 6,000 to Rs 9,000 for a single vaccine dose for his family. He should tell if he supports Punjab govt decision to force people to get vaccine doses for Rs 1560.

It is immoral for Punjab govt to profit from sale of COVID Vaccines. People being punished during a time of economic slowdown. Cong govt has abdicated its responsibility towards public welfare by corporatizing vaccine distribution. The entire COVID management exercise stands exposed.
