New Delhi, April 23

The Congress on Friday said the Supreme Court’s intervention in the Covid response matter on April 22 was uncalled for and wrong.

Party spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi said the SC intervention was wrong because it was not suo motu ameliorative, but a reaction to palliative high court orders.

“Judicial decentralisation and not over-centralisation is the need of the hour… SC orders have a demoralising, chilling, paralysing and negative effect on the excellent work being done by non-governmental institutions of governance, including HCs. It may have the unintended effect of legitimising the utter failure of the Centre on all fronts in its anti-Covid actions,” Singhvi said.

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).
