Chandigarh, August 24

City NSUI today protested at the Tribune chowk against the BJP, alleging that the party disrespected the national flag.

They alleged violation of the National Flag Code while paying tribute to Kalyan Singh, former UP Chief Minister and Governor of Rajasthan, in Lucknow.

“The national flag was half covered by the flag of the BJP on the coffin. No other flag should be placed higher than or above or side by side with the National Flag,” the protesters alleged.

NSUI senior leader Shub Sekhon said: “Imagine if any other party had even unwittingly committed such an illegality and a red flag or the flag of any other party had been placed over the national flag. All hell would have broken loose.” — 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).
