HS Lucky, president, Chandigarh Congress

HS Lucky, president of the Chandigarh Pradesh Congress Committee, today claimed that the tireless efforts of Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, forced the Union government to conduct caste census.

In a statement issued today, Lucky said, “Rahul Gandhi’s unwavering commitment to the cause of India’s backward and marginalised communities has finally borne fruit. His consistent pressure, both inside the parliament and across the country, has compelled the Modi government to announce a caste census, which they had long evaded.”

He said, “The Congress always stood for equality and justice. Rahul's Bharat Jodo Yatra and his repeated calls for caste-based enumeration reflect our commitment to uplift every Indian by first understanding their socio-economic realities.”

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).
