The National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) on Tuesday staged a large protest march to the Election Commission office, accusing the poll body of aiding the ruling BJP in “vote chori” (vote theft) and undermining democracy.

Led by NSUI national president Varun Choudhary, hundreds of students took part in the march, which was met with heavy police deployment. Several workers were detained as they attempted to reach the Commission’s headquarters.

Choudhary launched an attack on the Election Commissioner, declaring, “We have booked an appointment for an eye test for the Commissioner so that he can see the truth. The EC is helping the BJP in vote chori and its full form is now ‘Elections Compromised.’”

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).
