Shimla, April 18

Alleging that the BJP leaders were merely pretending to be the well-wishers of women, Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee vice-president Naresh Chauhan today said that people knew that they went to the Election Commission to stop the Rs 1,500 pension to women. “Leader of Opposition Jai Ram Thakur should apologise to the people of the state for creating hurdles in the way of women getting their due,” he said.

Chauhan said that the BJP had been exposed before the people of the state. “BJP is not only anti-women but also anti-employee. The BJP leaders made fun of government employees for asking for old pension and challenged them to contest elections. Whereas the Congress government restored the OPS in the very first meeting,” said Chauhan.

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).
