New Delhi, June 23

Faced with multiple FIRs in several states over his alleged remarks on the efficacy of allopathy in Covid-19 treatment, yoga guru Ramdev on Wednesday moved the Supreme Court seeking clubbing of all the cases and a stay on criminal proceedings against him.

He also sought protection from coercive actions in FIRs lodged by Patna and Raipur branches of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) and transfer of FIRs to the national capital.

Ramdev had allegedly said, “Allopathy is a stupid science and medicines such as Remdesivir, Fabiflu and other drugs approved by the Drugs Controller General of India have failed to treat Covid-19 patients.”

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).
