New Delhi, August 20

Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) president Devender Yadav paid floral tributes to former Prime Minister late Rajiv Gandhi on his 80th birth anniversary by offering floral tributes at Rajiv Bhawan on Tuesday. Earlier in the day, Yadav also attended a prayer meeting at Rajiv Gandhi's Samadhi at Veer Bhumi, Raj Ghat. "Rajiv Ji's vision laid the foundation for India's computer and telecom revolutions and his work towards Panchayati Raj and women's empowerment through legislative quotas remains unparalleled," Yadav remarked. Yadav launched the Mahendra Yadav scholarship scheme, aimed at supporting students excelling in various subjects. Several Congress leaders, including Manish Chatrath and former MLAs Anil Bhardwaj and Jaikishan, joined Yadav in paying their respects.

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).
