A parliamentary committee headed by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey has called media bodies — News Broadcasters and Digital Association (NBDA) and Editors Guild of India (EGI) — to depose before it on the issue of curbing “fake news”.

An official statement said the Standing Committee on Communications and Information Technology will meet on November 21.

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).
