Chandigarh, July 22

The Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee (HPCC) president Kumari Selja, along with state in charge Vivek Bansal and party MLAs, tried to take out a protest march over the Pegasus controversy here today, but as soon they came out of the office, the police stopped them.

Twentyfour MLAs took part in the protest which included Deputy Leader of Congress Legislative Party (CLP) Aftab Ahmed, party’s chief whip BB Batra and former ministers, Dr Raghuvir Kadiyan and Geeta Bhukkal.

Adampur MLA Kuldeep Bishnoi and former deputy CM Chander Mohan also participated in the protest.

Former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda and former minister Kiran Choudhry were absent on the occasion. Selja, Bansal and MLAs were kept in preventive custody for about two to three hours at the Sector 3 police station and were released around 3 pm. — 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).
