New Delhi: Hitting out at the government over mandatory online registration or registering on walk-in on the CoWin portal to get inoculated, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi demanded that every person walking into a COVID-19 vaccination centre should get the jab. He said those who do not have access to the internet also have the right to life.

The Congress has been batting for vaccines for the poor, especially those living in far-flung and rural areas, who do not have digital access or smartphones.

The opposition party has also been demanding that COWIN registration should not be mandatory for getting the Covid vaccine.

“Online registration is not enough for the vaccine. Every person walking in at a vaccination centre should get the vaccine. Those who do not have access to internet also have the right to life,” Rahul Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi on Thursday.

The Congress has been critical of the government’s vaccination policy and its handling of the Covid situation in the country.
