Chandigarh, June 4

The BJP today slammed the Congress government for allegedly commercialising the sale of Covid vaccines at a time when Punjab had recorded the highest mortality rate in the country.

National general secretary Tarun Chugh said a criminal case needed to be registered against all those involved in the vaccine “scam” under which the doses provided by the Centre were sold on commercial rates to private hospitals, which in turn, made a huge profit out of it at the cost of poor and needy people.

Chugh said this was black marketing by the government. “All this has been happening when Punjab last month recorded 2.7 per cent death rate which is among the highest in the country,” he said, urging the Centre to take action. — TNS

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).
