New Delhi, January 14

Former Lok Sabha Speaker and veteran Congress leader Meira Kumar on Sunday received an invitation from the RSS and VHP to attend the Ram Mandir inauguration on January 22.

RSS communications chief Ram Lal extended the invite to Kumar.

Former deputy speaker of Lok Sabha Karia Munda was also invited.

It remains to be seen if Meira Kumar will attend given her party’s decision to term the event an RSS and BJP political event and declining invitations sent to party Chief Mallikarjun Kharge, former chief Sonia Gandhi and party leader in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury.

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).
