Probe Covaxin deal with Brazil: Congress

Congress on Friday demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi order an inquiry into the Covaxin deal with Brazil as it focussed on the probe ordered in the recipient country. The party also slammed the government over slow pace of vaccination.
AICC spokesperson Supriya Shrinate said Covaxin was developed by Bharat Biotech in partnership with the ICMR, which implied use of taxpayers’ money. But, she said there were serious allegations raised in Brazil which cast shadow on all the entities involved in the vaccine.
