Shimla, June 21

The Students’ Federation of India (SFI), here on Friday burnt the effigies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Minister of Education Dharmendra Pradhan and National Testing Agency (NTA) during a protest outside the premises of Deputy Commissioner’s office. The SFI protested the cancellation of the UGC-NET examination and demanded the dissolution of the NTA, the resignation of the Education Minister on moral grounds and an independent investigation by a sitting Judge of the Supreme Court. SFI state secretary Dinit Denta said irregularities in NEET results were unresolved and now irregularities in the UGC-NET exam had emerged and both these exams were conducted by the NTA.

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).
