Virus is the real enemy, not the government: Hardeep Puri
Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said in Rajya Sabha that the real enemy is the Kovid virus, not the government or the chief minister or the system.
Participating in the discussion in the Upper House, Puri said, “I have come to the realization that the one feeling that has escaped many people is that the enemy here is the virus, not the government or the chief minister or the system.” It is the virus that is the real enemy.
Puri said that when he was the civil aviation minister, he was the first to stop incoming flights from China, a move that others followed.
He also attacked the opposition on the issue of vaccination, saying, loose talk about India’s export of vaccines. Do you know what a vaccine is? Many politicians talk about vaccines as if they are something that one can buy from a neighborhood chemist’s shop.
Manufacturers making vaccine supplements can be counted on the fingers. The minister was intervening on behalf of the Treasury bench after the opposition criticized the government for its handling of the pandemic.
