TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday took a dig at Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar over his comment on the vaccination issue, saying his government’s aim is to “save lives, not vaccines”.
Taking a potshot at Khattar, Kejriwal said only vaccines can save lives of people so the sooner vaccines are administered, the more people are likely to be safe. “Khattar Sahib, only vaccine will save people’s lives. The sooner the vaccine is administered, the more people will be safe. My aim is not to save the vaccine, but to save people’s lives,” Kejriwal tweeted.
Kejriwal’s remarks came after Khattar criticised the Delhi government’s decision to stop vaccination for people in the 18-44 age group — being covered under the Central government’s third phase of the vaccination drive.
Khattar had alleged that the entire objective behind Kejriwal government’s decision was to create drama. The Haryana Chief Minister had advised Kejriwal to manage vaccine inoculation in a better manner since Delhi has been getting more vaccine compared to other states.
