India / There is no vaccine for ignorance: Health Minister to Rahul on his vaccine tweet

NEW DELHI: Health minister Harsh Vardhan on Friday took a dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his tweet questioning vaccine availability in the country.

In a sharp attack, Vardhan said, "There is no vaccine for the virus of arrogance and ignorance !!", he wrote on Twitter.

In the same tweet, he further targeted the Congress party and said that the oldest national party should think of a leadership overhaul at the core.

Earlier today, Rahul while targeting the Modi government, wrote on Twitter - "July is here. Where are the vaccines?".

Harsh Vardhan's tweet against Rahul Gandhi comes just a day after he rapped several leaders for making 'irresponsible' statements about the ongoing vaccination drive in the country.

In his tweet, he had urged them to stop playing politics, and desist from making such statements in the midst of a deadly pandemic.
