New Delhi, December 20

Congress leader Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday accused the government of “strangulating democracy” by suspending MPs over a legitimate demand and said the Congress had its task cut out for the next year’s General Election both as a party and as INDIA bloc member.

Stating that the Assembly election results being “very disappointing is an understatement”, the Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson urged party MPs to work hard for the General election.

Addressing party MPs in the Central Hall of Parliament, she said never before had so many Opposition MPs been suspended and that too for raising a “perfectly reasonable and legitimate” demand.

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).
