Senior Congress leader and former Haryana Home Minister Subhash Batra has alleged the hacking of the electronic voting machines (EVMs) used in the assembly election at the behest of the BJP regime in the state.

Batra has demanded a high-level inquiry by a sitting Judge of the Supreme Court into the matter.

“When the counting of votes began in the morning, the Congress was ahead on 65 seats, while BJP was leading on 17 seats when the votes cast through ballot papers were counted. However, as soon as the counting of EVM votes began, the trend took a U-turn. It raises doubts on the counting process and calls for a thorough probe,” maintained Batra.

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).
