Shimla, December 20

State BJP president Rajeev Bindal today said the mockery of Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankar by an opposition member was an insult of the Constitution.

Bindal, in a statement issued here, said it was unfortunate that Opposition members stooped so low to insult the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha. “It was not the esteem of an individual but of Parliament that was lowered by this unparliamentary act. Such an objectionable behaviour only reflects the frustration of the opposition.” he added.

He said the manner in which the opposition members joked and laughed after TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee mimicked Dhankar and Rahul Gandhi video-graphed the whole act were most unfortunate. Bindal said that people would not forgive the Opposition for insulting Dhankar.

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).
