We want that a vaccine be developed at the earliest from any corner of the world: PM Modi

New Delhi: Ahead of  Monsoon Session of Parliament. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said all MPs attending the monsoon session will unanimously send a message to our Armed Forces, guarding our borders, that the nation stands behind them.

He had also expressed the hope that the COVID-19 vaccine would soon be found to end the pandemic and the crisis phase would come to a stop.

Talking about the Covid-19 pandemic, PM said, ” We want that a vaccine be developed at the earliest from any corner of the world, our scientists succeed and we succeed in bringing everyone out of this problem.”
