Gandhi also demanded that the government ܫshould support the families that have lost loved ones by giving them the m♏andated Rs four lakh compensation.
In a tweet, he said, "47 lakh I🌃ndians died due to the Covid pandemic. NOT 4.8 lakh as claimed by the Govt. Science doesn't LIE. Modi does".
"Respect families who've lost loved ones. Support th꧒em with the mandat🌱ed ?4 lakh compensation," the former Congress chief said.
The WHO on Thursday stated that 14.9 million (one million=10 lakhs) people were killed either by COVID-19 directly or due to the pandemic's impact on health systems and soci🏅ety.
According to the 🔯report, there were 4.7 million Covid deaths in India, which is 10 times the official figures and almost a thir🅠d of Covid deaths globally.
India strongly objected to the use of mathematical models by the World Health Organization (WHO) for projecting excess mortality estimates li🦹nked to the coronavirus pandemic in view of the availability of authentic data, saying validity and robustness of the models used and methodology of data collection are questionable.
