Shimla, November 27

BJP president Rajeev Bindal yesterday alleged that the government allowed MLAs to vote in the mayoral elections of the municipal corporations for political gains.

Bindal said “Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has said that allowing MLAs to vote to elect mayors and deputy mayors of municipal corporations is as per law. However, a few days ago, administrative secretaries had said MLAs were not allowed to vote, citing the same Act and laws. So, how the same law could be interpreted differently?”

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).
