Chandigarh, May 8

Baba Ramdev has been called “insensitive and inhumane” for “mocking and blaming” Covid victims for not breathing proper.

Ramdev’s viral video has over 466.9k views, where he says “that patients just don’t know how to breathe properly, and therefore, spread negativity and complain of shortage of oxygen and cremation sites”.

AIPWA secretary Kavita Krishnana tweeted:

Thereafter, a range of reaction to her tweet followed.

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).
