On the second anniversary of the commencement of Manipur violence that claimed several lives in 2023, Rahul Gandhi said what was happening in the northeastern state was an abdication of constitutional duties by the government.

"Two years after violence shattered Manipur’s social fabric, normalcy is still out of reach. The Modi government has failed — in brokering peace, imposing President’s Rule on time, and keeping the state united.

"Hundreds have died, thousands remain in relief camps, and yet the Prime Minister has not visited Manipur.

"This shocking inaction is an abdication of constitutional duties. Manipur's wounds deepen with each day of neglect," Rahul said on X.

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).
