Chandigarh, March 13

The state Assembly today granted more time to a three-member fact-finding committee under Kanwar Pal Gujjar to investigate allegations of former Deputy CM Dushyant Chautala against former Congress minister Geeta Bhukkal.

Dushyant had alleged that when the allegations of sexual harassment had first appeared against Jind school’s sacked principal Kartar Singh, then Bhukkal had protected him.

“Since the matter is highly sensitive. Therefore, the Committee was of the view that it would not be appropriate to submit the report on the matter under review without detailed examination,” Gujjar told the House. The House gave its nod to his request for extension of the time to submit the report.

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).
