Chandigarh, August 4

The city unit of the Congress today hailed the decision of the Supreme Court wherein it stayed the conviction of Rahul Gandhi in a defamation case.

Party workers and leaders distributed sweets and raised slogans in favour of Rahul and the party. HS Lucky, president, Chandigarh Congress, said the SC order would have a far-reaching effect as Rahul was fighting for the cause of the poor and downtrodden and a conspiracy was hatched to suppress his voice. He demanded immediate restoration of his membership in the Lok Sabha so that he continued to question the government on key issues.

Former Union Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal termed the order as victory of the people of India and said justice had prevailed.

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).
