The complainant has urged the EC to restrain the university from conducting interviews for direct recruitment and promotions to teaching posts with effect from September 13.

The complainant, Dr Anil Pannikker, has also sought the cancellation of the interviews held for promotions by the MDU administration on August 16 and 17.

MDU Registrar, Prof Gulshan Lal Taneja, pointed out that as per the guidelines of the ECI, regular recruitment or appointment or promotion through the UPSC, State Public Service Commission, Staff Selection Commission or any other statutory authority could continue (while the MCC is in force).

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).
