Seeking action against Ambala City BJP candidate Aseem Goel for allegedly posting a fabricated video on social media, a legal coordinator of the Congress has lodged complaints with the Election Commission and Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. Advocate Karan Singh Narang has marked the complaint to the DGP of Haryana and the Chief Election Officer.

Narang stated that a video clip was uploaded on X by BJP candidate with a caption ‘Kanta Hooda Congress Party in Meham’ in which a woman is using derogatory language for a particular scheduled caste. He said on checking facts, the lady was found to be Kanta Aladia, a Dalit leader who has her own party. “Aseem Goel has fabricated the video and shown her as Kanta Hooda with a sinister cause of cheating and misleading people,” he stated.

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).
