Rathore said instead of indulging in this kind of politics, the Congress should work to protect humanity. BJP MLA Ramlal Sharma claimed that Congress leaders had earlier demoralised the scientists and people on COVID-19 vaccines and now doing politics on the issue.

(PM, why did you send vaccines meant for our children to foreign countries?)”, in several parts of the city amid the coronavirus-induced lockdown.
