Chandigarh, March 20

Chandigarh Congress has expressed concern over the decision of the Punjab Governor to screen “The Kashmir Files” at Raj Bhawan today.

Describing the act of screening the film as being below the dignity of the Governor’s office, Subhash Chawla, president, Chandigarh Congress, stated the Governor was a constitutional authority and he must not promote an ordinary film.

The Congress stands for the freedom of expression and believes audience will see through the sinister game of the producers to allegedly promote fissiparous tendencies in the country by releasing a film based on “false and biased narrative,” he 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).
