Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, visited the Dharavi leather hub in Mumbai on Thursday to interact with workers and understand the challenges they face.

Dharavi, one of the largest leather hubs in the world, houses hundreds of leather manufacturing units and employs over one lakh workers. Rahul toured several units, including the one founded by Sudheer Rajbhar, and engaged with both workers and entrepreneurs.

In a series of posts on X, Rahul reflected on his visit, highlighting the story of Rajbhar and the broader issues faced by Dalit youth in India. He wrote, “Rajbhar encapsulates the life and journey of lakhs of Dalit youth in India. Extremely talented, brimming with ideas and hungry to succeed but lacking the access and opportunity to connect with the elite in his field.”

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).
