“We have raised eight complaints with Chief Election Commissioner (CEC),” senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said. The Congress leaders filed a memorandum to the EC saying statements made by the Union Home Minister amounted to blatant and deliberate act of violation of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, and the Representation of the People Act, 1951.

In its complaint against Shah, the Congress told the EC that the minister had claimed in a speech at Rajnandgaon that “Bhupesh Baghel’s government, for appeasement politics and vote bank politics, lynched Chhattisgarh’s son Bhuneshwar Sahoo…”

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).
