New Delhi, September 23

Suggesting renaming the new building of Parliament as “Modi Multiplex” or “Modi Marriott”, the Congress today proposed finding new use for the structure “after a regime change in 2024”.

BJP president JP Nadda hit back at the Congress saying, “Even by the lowest standards of the Congress, this is a pathetic mindset. This is nothing but an insult to the aspirations of 140 crore Indians. In any case, this isn’t the first time the Congress is anti-Parliament. They tried in 1975 and failed miserably”.

In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said he found the new building “claustrophobic” and its architecture not conducive for democracy. “It should be called the Modi Multiplex or Modi Marriott…,” Ramesh wrote today on X.

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).
