Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu chaired the second session of the national conclave - “Constitutional challenges: Perspective and Pathways” -being organised by the AICC Law, Human Rights and RTI Department in New Delhi today.

He said that religion should be a personal matter for every individual and states should be secular in their approach. He added every religion should be respected and all should uphold ancient traditions of peace and brotherhood.

Sukhu said, “Every religion is respected in our country and therein lies the basis of our rich traditions of unity and brotherhood.” He added, “Religion should not be used for dividing people.”

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).
