Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar has been summoned by a joint committee of Parliament on ‘One Nation One Election’ on December 4. This is believed to be the first time that a serving CEC has been summoned by a joint parliamentary panel.

The joint committee on the Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty–Ninth Amendment) Bill, 2024, and the Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2024, led by BJP MP PP Chaudhary, has summoned Kumar to depose before it. It will also be meeting representatives of the 23rd Law Commission of India apart from Kumar.

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).
