BJP MP Anurag Thakur on Monday launched a scathing attack on the Congress, accusing it of failing to provide any relief to the common man during its 60 years in power. Speaking in Parliament, he said that while the BJP-led Centre has introduced income tax relief in the Budget, it is the Congress that is now feeling the “pain.”

Thakur alleged that previous Congress governments had imposed “tax terrorism” on citizens, whereas the BJP has worked to ease their financial burden. Holding up a placard that read “Zero tax up to Rs 12 lakh income slab,” Thakur said, “The Congress may feel bad about this ‘zero,’ but for crores of common people, this is a moment of happiness.”

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).
