New Delhi, June 7

Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday sought more time from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to appear for questioning in the National Herald money laundering case, citing her Covid illness.

The ED had summoned Sonia in the case for June 8 and her son Rahul Gandhi for June 13. Sources said Sonia tested positive on Thursday and was still recovering.

In any case she will need to complete the government mandated isolation period of seven days. The case is linked to a 2012 private complaint BJP’s Subramanian Swamy filed in a Delhi court.

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).
