Chandigarh, August 28

Speaker Gian Chand Gupta today expunged the remarks of Home Minister Anil Vij regarding the involvement of a political party behind riots, while the House had to be adjourned twice over discussion on the Nuh violence.

Vij had made the statement when Congress MLAs, led by former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda, were demanding a discussion on law and order and Nuh violence in the state.

Earlier, when the Speaker refused discussion on law and order and Nuh riots, saying that the matter was subjudice, Hooda said: “The CM says Nuh violence is a big conspiracy. We have the right to know who is behind it. The HC matter is only related to demolitions carried out in Nuh.” He, along with Beri MLA Dr Raghuvir Kaidian, demanded a judicial inquiry into the riots to unmask the conspiracy, but the CM did not respond.

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).
