While participating in a discussion on the Constitution on Saturday, Congress MP Kumari Selja reminded Parliament that while BR Ambedkar's contribution was lauded, the nation's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's role could not be forgotten for setting up the Constituent Assembly.

Speaking in the Lok Sabha, the Sirsa MP took a jibe at the ruling BJP, saying that the discussion on the Constitution should not be reduced to mere tokenism, when on a daily basis it's principles were being demolished.

She asked why the ruling party had a problem with caste census, when the exercise would only help identify the actual status of the poor in the country.

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).
