Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Saturday urged newly elected lawmakers to conduct themselves with dignity and maintain decency and decorum in the House as their actions are observed not just within the country, but also globally.

Addressing a keynote address at the valedictory function of the two-day long orientation programme of newly elected members of Parliament, Birla said for a healthy and strong democracy, there was a need to foster an environment of dialogue and cooperation.

It is the responsibility of the members to fulfill the hopes and aspirations of the people they represent. Therefore, they should use the forum of the House to discuss the issues of the people, he added.

Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha Harivansh also addressed the members on the occasion.

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).
