NEW DELHI: The UK government’s decision to not recognise Covishield as a legitimate anti-Covid vaccine is “discriminatory” and it is within the country’s “right to take reciprocal measures” if the matter was not resolved, India said on Tuesday. Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla said this move impacts Indian citizens travelling to that country.
“The non-recognition of Covishield is a discriminating policy and impacts our citizens travelling to the UK. The External Affairs minister has raised the issue strongly with the new UK Foreign Secretary. I am told that certain assurances have been given that this issue will be resolved,” Shringla said at a press conference in New Delhi.
His comments came on a day when Union Foreign minister S Jaishankar tweeted about discussing the matter with British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss on the sidelines of the high-level 76th session of the UN General Assembly.
The meeting in New York took place on the same day when the UK announced its new Covid-related travel restrictions that sparked sharp criticism and concerns in India.
