Public Works Department (PWD) Minister Vikramaditya Singh has urged the Central Government to take immediate action to protect the minority Hindu community in Bangladesh. He urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene and take prompt and effective action to address this humanitarian crisis.

Vikramaditya cited the reports of mass murders, destruction of temples and widespread violence in Bangladesh and said that the Indian Government had a moral obligation to protect the rights and dignity of Hindus in Bangladesh, given the historical ties between the two nations.

The minister said that the government should condemn violence and atrocities committed against the minority Hindus in Bangladesh and provide humanitarian aid to the affected communities.

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).
