Prakash Javadekar Slams Kamal Nath For Calling B.1.617 Indian Variant

Union Minister Prakash Javadekar has slammed former MP CM Kamal Nath for labelling the B.1.617 variant of coronavirus as "Indian variant". He also criticised the opposition for weakening the fight against COVID-19. Accusing Nath of "insulting the nation", Javadekar questioned Congress president Sonia Gandhi for not taking action against the former CM. The WHO had earlier directed that no country's name should be attributed to any variant of the coronavirus.
