Responding to a call by India to the international fraternity, the United Kingdom has reportedly sent 495 oxygen concentrators, 120 non-invasive ventilators, and 20 manual ventilators as assistance for the Oxygen Shortage in the country. However, the spokesperson of British PM Boris Johnson has expressed the inability to provide vaccines for India as “they do not have any surplus doses beyond the domestic rollout.” As infections continue to mount in India, with an alarming rise in the mortalities, Slough Member of Parliament Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi yesterday urged Boris Johnson administration on the floor of the British House of Commons to send urgent aid to India. WSN reports.

TANMANJEET SINGH IS CONSCIOUS OF THE NEEDS AND CONCERNS of not only his constituents, many of whom are of Indian origin but of their relatives and associates as well who reside in various parts of India.

Always ready to stand up for the underdogs, taking up the cause of COVID-19 related aid to India as an urgent matter on the floor of the house, Tan Dhesi MP for Slough “highlighted to Foreign Office Minister Nigel Adams MP, the need for the UK to take the lead and help the Indian people in their hour of need, considering India is registering the highest ever Covid cases globally.

He mentioned that many people in his constituency are extremely anxious about loved ones in India, terrified after seeing the apocalyptic scenes of people dying on the streets for want of oxygen, a collapsing health system, and crematoriums and cemeteries overwhelmed with thousands of people dying every day.

Boris Johnson’s official spokesman has said, “We would consider every request (by India) very closely.”

Such urgent action requests on humanitarian grounds have been made by many other Members of Parliament of the Labour Party.

It is sad to note that while India is welcoming aid from all across the world, it does not digest any criticism of the brutal collapse of its health systems, all over the country and especially in the capital city of Delhi.
