Speaker Om Birla on Monday said he would order a thorough investigation into a possible electronic technical glitch that led to the playing of the national anthem even before he had assumed his chair this morning.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, top ministers, Congress leader Sonia Gandhi and others stood up as the anthem was played. A few seconds later, the Speaker arrived and the National Anthem was played again.

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).
