Acting Mahila Congress chief Netta D’Souza today accosted Union Minister Smriti Irani over rising prices on board a Delhi-Guwahati flight and later tweeted the video that went viral.

“Faced Smriti Irani en route Guwahati. When asked about unbearable rising prices of LPG, she blames vaccines, rashan, even the poor. Do watch the video excerpts on how she reacted to common people’s misery,” D’Souza said. Irani, caught unawares by D’Souza’s questions, is heard saying the path of passengers is being blocked. Irani also spoke of the free ration the poor were being provided under the government scheme, which stands extended till September. —

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
