New Delhi, April 12

Congress leader Anand Sharma on Wednesday said Rahul Gandhi’s conviction and disqualification from the Lok Sabha was “deeply flawed” in law and hoped it would be corrected, which would be a “litmus test” for the Indian judiciary.

Sharma accused the Centre of being “obsessed” with the new Parliament building while “never allowing any discussion” during House proceedings. Addressing the media, he said Rahul’s disqualification, was “deeply flawed in law… This will be a litmus test for the judiciary. I have no doubt what is wrong will be corrected, a flawed decision in law will be reversed.”

On his occupying government accommodation, he said he had not flouted any rules and was paying market rent as per the rules laid down by Parliament.

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).
