Former Defence Minister and senior Congress leader AK Antony and his wife have tested coronavirus positive and admitted in AIIMS here for treatment.

“My dad AK Antony and mom Elizabeth Antony have tested positive and admitted at AIIMS, Delhi. Their conditions are stable. Do keep us in your thoughts and prayers,” tweeted his son Anil K Antony.

Senior party leaders Ahmed Patel and Manish Tewari too had tested positive earlier. Patel is presently admitted in a Gurugram hospital while Tewari is in self-isolation at his Chandigarh home.

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).
