Chandigarh, May 10

The Congress today complained that the BJP was misusing official machinery and questioned Z-plus security to former CM Manohar Lal Khattar.

Holding a press conference, Deputy Congress Legislative Party leader Aftab Ahmed said, “The state government is misusing official machinery for electoral gains. The model code of conduct is in place and despite that it has been happening.” He questioned the Election Commission’s different yardstick in providing security to BJP candidates. “It influences voters. There should be a level playing field.”

“On what basis is Khattar being provided with Z-plus security? What kind of threat perception does he have? There are two more former CMs in the state, Om Prakash Chautala and Bhupinder Hooda but they have not been provided with Z-plus security,” he said.

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).
