'Powerful Example Of Global Leadership': Shashi Tharoor Praises PM Modi's Covid-19 'Vaccine Diplomacy'

In a column written for English Magazine The Week, Tharoor said, "India’s vaccine diplomacy during the Covid pandemic stands out amid the horrors of that time as a powerful example of international leadership rooted in responsibility and solidarity. By delivering made-in-India vaccines to over 100 nations, India demonstrated its capacity to extend a helping hand when it mattered most."

The veteran Congress leader lauded the Vaccine Maitri initiative launched by the BJP government in the Centre in the year 2021, which exported vaccines to over 100 countries, including nations across West Asia, Africa, Latin America, and our immediate neighbourhood.

Tharoor's article is one of the many recent praises for the Modi camp, coming amid reports of a rift between the Congress and the veteran leader over Kerala leadership.
