On the birth anniversary of saint-poet Ravidas, BJP president J P Nadda said on Sunday the party is committed to constructing a grand Ravidas temple in Delhi and asserted that every party worker will follow the path shown by the saint for an united society.

The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) had demolished the temple in Tughlakabad area on August 10 on the orders of the Supreme Court, triggering protests by Dalits in the national capital and some states.

Paying homage to Saint Ravidas at the party office, Nadda said the great saint preached to end evil practices prevalent in the society.

Underlining that BJP’s work every worker will follow the path shown by him for unity of the society, Nadda said the party committed to the construction of grand Ravidas temple in the national capital. — PTI

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).
