New Delhi, June 10: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday demanded that every person walking into a Covid-19 vaccination centre should get the jab, saying those who do not have access to 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 smart phones.

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," he said in a tweet in Hindi.

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

RIGHT TO LIFE, GUARANTEED BY THE CONSTITUTION OF CIVILISED WORLD, COVID,19, VACCINE AND INDIA
Rahul Gandhi, a skilled, educated, truly Indian politician has to assure the people " death with dignity and life with full equal protection" under the law. The ruling party of India extrajudicially, arbitrarily, brutally killing and imprisoning their opponents and critics. Today India is similar to Germany from 1933 to 1945, under the late Adolf Hitler. Rahul Gandhi should learn from the History of the world that dictators have short life but they cause long-lasting irreparable damages to ordinary people. The Indian Government due to their criminal negligence have put the peoples day to day survival in a jeopardy and the progress behind 50 years.
