The Congress on Friday slammed the Centre over an International Labour Organisation (ILO) report pointing to wage inequality in India.

Congress General Secretary and I/C Communications Jairam Ramesh said, “This is a direct consequence of the pakoda-nomics that the non-biological PM has created. Pakodas for the masses, halwa for the chosen few!” The Global Wage Report puts out that the shares of low-paid wage workers and low-paid non-wage workers declined at an average annual rate of 6.3 and 12.7 per cent, respectively, between 2008 and 2018.

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).
