New Delhi, June 5

Four-time Kollam MP NK Premachandran on Wednesday became the first parliamentarian to register for the 18th Lok Sabha with outgoing ministers Bhupender Yadav, Rao Inderjit and BJP MP Virender Kumar among other early birds.

Premachandran, a Revolutionary Socialist Party who hails from Kerala, appreciated the Lok Sabha Secretariat for digitising the MP registration process but lamented the absence of the old Parliament House from the paraphernalia given to the new MPs.

“This is a gross lapse. You cannot erase history. I have flagged to the LS Secretariat that the pictures of the old and original Parliament House are missing from bags, hand books and other docket items given to new MPs at the time of registration,” he said.

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).
