When India takes business pangas...or out of their interest do such things...

All perhaps they are not happy with covishield royalty which they were supposed to get..pay them they will lift all bans... vacine was the very good opportunity for their gdp growth... But modi is this side...in his presence noone even this country citizens can't extract money from this country without proper return...

[RkR]

Indian industrialists must Stay clear of UK for a while. AS SUCH UK SHOPS are empty of goods, Don't under stand what they are so conceited about!

[kasardevi]

For your information .. I have to undergo the same ...travelling from India to Germany ...I am a citizen of Austria... it is not discriminating .... Indians are always very touchy ...just stay in India if you don't want to obey the rules!!!!

[sujirnayak]

Good, to note that all criminals and culprits can’t run away from India easily to London!!

[prabhakariyer]

[anilnavani]

Kudos to Shashi Tharoor. At least someone spoke up against the UK’s shameful discrimination. The Modi government should be ashamed.

[gonaseelankgovender]

withdraw ambassador and send british ambassador packing

[shrusti]

And it's not about the authencity of Vaccine Certificate, India has a digital certificate, with a QR code to know its originality, but UK and US have handwritten by humans, which is much more easier to fordged

[a.dayyan]

Mr Tharoor is a absolute gem 💎 this man deserves to be the President of India not education he is best to represent India as President for 10-20 years

[agonnoga]

Poonawala ran away to UK after threats to his live in India over vaccines.
That may have some bearing on this decision.
