<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;They say I can&#8217;t go to Agra. They stop me wherever I go. Should I keep sitting in restaurants? Just because it is politically convenient for them? I want to meet them, what is the big deal?&#8221; Priyanka Gandhi questioned.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;The moment I try to visit any place other than the party office, then they (Administration) try to stop me. It is also causing inconvenience to the public,&#8221; she added.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Captain Amarinder Singh, the ousted Punjab chief minister, and the Congress got into a verbal spat on Friday. Harish Rawat, a senior Congress politician, and Punjab in-charge launched the first salvo. Rawat questioned Amarinder&#8217;s secular credentials, citing his proximity to Amit Shah, prompting a sharp reaction from the former Punjab chief minister, who stated even his opponents don&#8217;t doubt his sincerity in this area.</p>
<p>Denying Amarinder&#8217;s charge of being humiliated by the Congress, Rawat said &#8220;It appears from Captain&#8217;s recent statements that he is under some sort of pressure. He should rethink, and not help BJP directly or indirectly.&#8221;</p>

<p>He also stated that in the past, he had to &#8220;fall at the feet&#8221; of bureaucrats and drug regulators to obtain licenses, but that this has changed now, resulting in the speedy launch of SII&#8217;s COVID-19 vaccine, Covishield.</p>
<p>Mr. Poonawalla was speaking at the Lokmanyat Tilak National Award ceremony, which was hosted by the Lokmanya Tilak Trust. Sushil Kumar Shinde, a former Union minister, and prominent Congress politician praised Mr. Poonawalla&#8217;s work, saying that the SII vaccine was saving lakhs of lives.</p>
