This issue did not escape from the eyes of the rebel government, under the guise of this issue, the Congress again attacked the BJP.

The Congress Leader criticizes the Modi Government in his tweet which says “Made in India cough syrups seem to be deadly. First it was the deaths of 70 kids in Gambia & now it is that of 18 children in Uzbekistan. Modi Sarkar must stop boasting about India being a pharmacy to the world & take strictest action” To which BJP’s Amity Malviya responded by tweeting “The death of children in Gambia had nothing to do with the consumption of cough syrup made in India. That has been clarified by the Gambian authorities and DCGI, both. But blinded in its hate for Modi, Congress continues to deride India and its entrepreneurial spirit. Shameful “
