India’s Foreign Minister S Jaishankar on Wednesday clarified that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal “does not speak” for the Indian government, a day after the Aam Aadmi Party chief called for a ban on flight services between India and Singapore over new Covid-19 variants.
A controversy emerged after Kejriwal on Tuesday said that Singapore had flagged new strains of the coronavirus that could affect children in India in a possible “third wave” of the pandemic. The Delhi chief minister also said that the Centre should prioritise vaccination options for them.
