Chandigarh, December 8

A delegation of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) submitted a complaint to the UT SSP alleging fake admission in LLM course of the University Institute of Legal Studies (UILS) at Panjab University.

“The ABVP has been agitating for the past several days regarding ‘forgery’ in the UILS, but the administration has not taken satisfactory action on the matter,” said Sakshi Thakur, joint secretary, ABVP, Punjab. She alleged: “Even the Vice-Chancellor is seen protecting the persons involved in the forgery. No inquiry has been marked, till date.”

The complainant, Harish Gujjar, who lost the Panjab University Campus Students Council (PUCSC) election, supported the allegations. “We submitted a complaint, along with evidence, to the Chandigarh SSP today,” said Gujjar.

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).
