During the assembly elections held in five states including UP, the Election Commission had banned the use of PM Narendra Modi’s picture on the certificate of corona vaccine. Now that the elections are over, the Center is once again planning to put the Prime Minister’s picture on the certificates of COVID vaccination in these states.
According to sources, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya has expressed his desire to resume the printing of PM Modi’s photo on the corona vaccine certificate in these states. For this, necessary changes are being made in the Kovin app.
PM Modi’s picture was removed from the COVID vaccination certificates after the Central Election Commission announced the election dates and the Model Code of Conduct came into force. This decision was implemented on January 8 in five election states of Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Manipur and Goa. The opposition has been questioning Modi’s picture on the vaccine certificate since the beginning. The matter even reached the court.
The Kerala High Court had bluntly said that…
A petition filed against Modi’s photo on the vaccination certificate was dismissed by the Kerala High Court. The petitioner had said that the certificate was his personal matter and the photograph of Modi on it was not correct. The High Court had asked him that you work in an organization named after Nehru. Why didn’t you try to replace it?
The petitioner argued that the vaccine certificates being given in other countries do not have the photo of their Prime Minister. The High Court had said on this that he would not be proud of his Prime Minister. But we are proud of Modi. You should be proud that you have a picture of your Prime Minister on your vaccination certificate, the court said.
