Amid the political row over revision of electoral rolls in poll-bound Bihar, LoP in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi will lead the ‘Bihar Bandh’ march against the move on Wednesday.

The Congress has been alleging that the voters’ list in Bihar was being tampered with on a large scale so that the names of voters who are poor or belong to backward communities and voters supporting the Opposition could be removed from the electoral rolls.

He is expected to make a brief stop to meet the family of slain businessman and BJP leader Gopal Khemka. Meanwhile, key suspect in the murder case was killed in a gunfight with the police in Damaria Ghat area on Tuesday.

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).
