Participating in a discussion on President’s address in the Budget Session, Ambala Congress MP Varun Chaudhary said by 2047 India would be a debt-ridden country and not a ‘developed country’, as being promised by the government. He took a dig at the nomenclature being used to describe growth, saying in 2014, the slogan was ‘Shresth Bharat’; in 2019, ‘Naya Bharat’; and in 2024, ‘Viksit Bharat’. “There is no road map for ‘Viksit Bharat’. What are the benchmarks? The government claims there is ‘amrit kaal’, and then, claims that India was a ‘vishwa guru’,” he said.

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).
