India Calls New UK Travel Curbs Racist, Biased

The United Kingdom has announced new international travel rules which do not recognize people vaccinated in India as fully vaccinated, which means that vaccinated visitors travelling from India to the UK will have to home quarantine for 10 days while those coming from other countries will not. The Indian side has called the travel curbs offensive, racist and biased. Taking to Twitter, Rajya Sabha member Jairam Ramesh tweeted: "Absolutely bizarre considering Covishield was originally developed in the UK and the Serum Institute, Pune has supplied to that country too! This smacks of racism, "The new international travel curbs in the UK considers those as fully vaccinated who have been vaccinated under an approved vaccination programme in Europe, UK or the US. However, a British high commission spokesperson told reporters: "We are engaging with the government of India to explore how we could expand UK recognition of vaccine certification to people vaccinated by a relevant public health body in India," https://twitter.com/Jairam_Ramesh/status/1439804115786166272
