New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said India is ready with two made-in-India Covid-19 vaccines for the protection of humanity.
He said the world is not only waiting for them but also watching as to how the country runs the globe’s biggest vaccination programme.
Speaking at the inauguration of the 16th Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD) Convention, Modi also asserted that if democracy is most strong, vibrant and lively anywhere in the world, it is in India.
He added: “When India got Independence then it was said that such a poor and under-literate country will disintegrate and democracy was impossible here. Today’s truth is that India is united and if democracy is most strong, vibrant and lively anywhere in the world, it is in India.”
On India’s fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, he said the country is among the nations with the lowest fatality rate and the highest recovery rate.
“Being the pharmacy of the world, India has supplied important medicines to all those in need in the world in the past and is also doing so now. The world is not only waiting for Indian vaccines but is also watching how India runs the world biggest vaccination programme,” he added.
