Sibal attacks Centre over COVID-19 vaccine prices ANI 05 May 2021, 16:37 GMT+10 By Siddharth SharmaNew Delhi [India], May 5 (ANI): Senior Congress leader and former Union Minister Kapil Sibal has lashed out at the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government over the pricing of Covid-19 vaccines while leaving it to the states to vaccinate people on their own. Speaking exclusively to ANI, Sibal said he was surprised that why the Centre is not taking steps to cap the prices of the vaccines which are very important in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. "If you bring Covishield and Covaxin under Section 3 of the Essential Commodity Act then their prices can be controlled. It is your (government's) responsibility that those who are above 18 years of age should get the vaccine, so why don't you bring the vaccine in it (Essential Commodity Act).""If we bring the vaccines under the Act then it will be the responsibility of the Central government to fix the price," he added.
