Vaccination Record On PM's 71st Birthday

India crossed two crore Covid vaccinations in a day for the first time today as the government raced to deliver a record on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birthday. Increasing extremism and radicalisation are the biggest threat to global peace, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today at the nine-member Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit, and drew attention to the Taliban's takeover in Afghanistan. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman today said the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council had discussed the topic of inclusion of petrol and diesel under the tax structure after the Kerala High Court order. "On the direction of court it was brought on to table but members spoke very clearly they do not want it to be included in GST," she said.
