Several members of a Parliamentary committee on Thursday raised the issue of social media influencer Ranveer Allahbadia's crass comments, calling for strict action and strengthening measures to curb such incidents.

BJD MP Sasmit Patra said several members cutting across party lines raised the issue and expressed the need to take stringent measures to ensure that such incidents do not recur.

The committee, which is headed by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, is likely to write the Information and Broadcasting Ministry on the issue.

BJP MPs Anil Baluni, V D Sharma, Lahar Singh Siroya and Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi were among those who raised the issue, sources said.

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).
