Students of Ashoka University also came in support of their faculty and demanded the formation of a committee for thorough investigation of the violation of academic freedom with regard to Professor Sabyasachi Das’ paper and any kind of pressure put on him by the governing body or the university administration.

The students, under the banner of Ashoka University Students Government, have shared an open letter on social media with six demands.

The demands include Professor Das to be unconditionally offered his job back. The administration must hold an open town hall with the student body to discuss the process followed during recent events and the proposed way forward.

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).
