Haryana State Commission for Women (HSCW) Chairperson Renu Bhatia on Monday launched a scathing attack on Ashoka University associate professor Ali Khan Mahmudabad, asserting that the commission would not tolerate any "derogatory" comments directed at women.

Speaking at a press conference in Delhi, Bhatia said, "The words he used and the mindset they reveal are deeply insulting to women. Who gave him the right to malign women and pass such offensive remarks?”

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).
