External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Monday said that only the 'non-serious' and 'irresponsible' people could make an argument against India's export of the Covid-19 vaccines to other nations.

Jaishankar defended the decision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government to supply the 'Made-in-India' Covid-19 vaccines to other nations, even as it drew flak from the Congress, Aam Aadmi Party, Trinamool Congress, Shiv Sena and the other Opposition parties.

The External Affairs Minister indicated that he could cite New Delhi's decision to export the jabs to build his argument to ask the other nations to continue supplying raw materials required to produce the Covid-19 vaccines in India.
