New Delhi [India], May 27 (ANI): The Indian Medical Association on Wednesday appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take appropriate action under sedition and other charges against Baba Ramdev for allegedly "spearheading a misinformation campaign on COVID vaccination".
"The Indian Medical Association is proactively spearheading your commitment to enforcing vaccination to all above 18 years as the tool to overcome the corona pandemic. When you initiated the vaccine rollout, IMA leaders across the country stood first to get the vaccine and by this dispelled the vaccine hesitancy. With the sincere efforts of the Government and the modern medical healthcare professional India could vaccinate nearly 20 crore people, one of the fastest vaccination drives in the world. We laud your motive to augment the indoor production of more vaccines and approval of vaccines from other countries to be used in our country," wrote IMA in its letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
