Kamala Harris to speak at Covid aid to India event

Under fire from some critics for what they saw as her tepid initial response to India's Covid-19 crisis, US vice-president Kamala Harris will deliver a message of solidarity with the people of India on Friday, headlining a diaspora event on aid to their country of origin. “Kamala Harris will provide an opening message on US solidarity with the people of India as we partner to save lives & hasten the end of the pandemic," the State Department's South and Central Asia bureau said .
