Chandigarh, May 18

Election Commission Office intervened and got a press conference relating to EVMs stopped today at Press Club. The meet was being organised by the EVM Hatao Sena, Socialist Party (India) and the Right to Recall Party.

The officials concerned said there was no permission for such an event.

The election officials and the police reached the club and got the conference stopped as National in-charge of EVM Hatao Sena Pawan Jury was to give the live demonstration of a working model of the EVM to “show how crores of paper votes can be stolen all over India due to the black glass present in the machine”.

Sandeep Pandey, national secretary, Socialist Party (India), was also present.

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).
