New Delhi, September 27

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today said the query raised by Serum Institute’s CEO Adar Poonawala was genuine and added that it should have been answered in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Mann ki Baat programme today.

“The question is genuine but how long will India continue to wait for an answer from the government. If only the answer to Covid vaccine access strategy had come in PM’s Mann ki Baat today,” Rahul tweeted a day after Poonawala asked the PMO on twitter whether the Centre had Rs 88,000 crore ready over the next year to procure and distribute a potential Covid-19 vaccine to all Indians.

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).
