Political leaders have no business to hoard Covid-19 drugs: Delhi HC
Delhi High Court
The Delhi High Court on Monday said political leaders have no business to âhoardâ stocks of Covid-19 medicines already in shortage and the drugs must be surrendered, as it expressed dissatisfaction over the inquiry by the Delhi Police on allegations against politicians on this issue, terming the report âvague and whitewashedâ.
The Delhi Police had told the High Court that political leaders, including BJP MP Gautam Gambhir and President of All India Youth Congress BV Srinivas, accused of hoarding Covid-19 medicines, were voluntarily helping people in getting medical aid and no one has been defrauded. The submissions made by the police in its status report, however, did not go down well with the court.
