New Delhi, September 19

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday took a swipe at the government over the record Covid-19 vaccinations in a single day and said the “event” is over now.

He also shared a graph of the vaccination trend in the last 10 days as per data from the Cowin website to show the decline in inoculations after the record.

India vaccinated 2.5 crore people in a single day on Friday to mark Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday. Using the hashtag vaccination, Gandhi said in a tweet, “Event over”.

Gandhi on Saturday had hoped more such record vaccinations happened in the country.

“Looking forward to many more days of 2.1 crore vaccinations. This pace is what our country needs,” he had said on Twitter. — PTI

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).
