Hamirpur, December 6

Many parties used name of Dr BR Ambedkar for political gains but it was only the BJP that acknowledged and honoured contribution of Ambedkar in the nation building. This was stated by Prem Kumar Dhumal, former Chief Minister, while addressing a function organised to mark the death anniversary of Ambedkar at Gasota near here today. He said Ambedkar was a great economist and politician who devoted his life for the welfare of weaker sections of society.

Dhumal said Ambedkar was decorated with highest civil citation ‘Bharat Rattan’ in 1990. He had not only played vital role in drafting the Constitution but also in the freedom struggle of the country, Dhumal added.

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).
