Congress Hisar MP Jai Parkash has come under criticism after making a controversial statement on women, prompting the Women Commission of Haryana to issue notice to him.

During a public meeting in Kalayat, where his son Vikas Saharan is contesting the elections, Jai Parkash can be seen, a video of which went viral on social media, making a derogatory comment on women. He said: “If leaders can be made with lipstick and powder then I should apply it myself. Why should I even keep a beard?”

Condemning the use of such language, commission chairperson Renu Bhatia said: “We have asked Jai Parkash to submit a reply on this.”

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).
