BJP leader Kishor Makwana has been appointed as the new Chairperson of the National Commission for Scheduled Castes, according to an official order.

Makwana is a spokesperson of the Gujarat unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He is also a journalist and a columnist.

The order issued by the Social Justice and Empowerment Ministry read, “The president has approved and signed the warrant of your appointment to the post of chairperson in the NCSC which is enclosed in the original. You are requested to assume charge of the post in NCSC.”

Last year, BJP leader Vijay Sampla resigned as Chairman of the NCSC, following which Arun Halder held the position of acting chairperson.

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).
