Rohtak, April 1

Haryana Power Minister and BJP candidate from Hisar Lok Sabha constituency Ranjit Chautala has apologised for his remark about the Brahmin community.

Addressing a news conference at Hisar today, Ranjit said he had inadvertently made a remark about the Brahmin community, for which he apologises.

“Brahmins are respectable for us as we seek their consent/permission before any new venture/task. It is my eighth election and I have never made any remark against any caste or community,” he said.

In a recent interview, the minister had blamed the Brahmin community for the caste system in society.

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).
