New Delhi, June 14

Days after the iconic Mahatma Gandhi statue along with 13 sculptures of BR Ambedkar and Chhatrapati Shivaji among others, were shifted to a newly created garden within the Parliament complex called Prerna Sthal, Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar will inaugurate it on June 16 in the presence of Om Birla, the Speaker in the outgoing 17th Lok Sabha.

The Congress slammed the move, saying “the whole idea of this relocation is to ensure that the statues of Mahatma Gandhi and Dr Ambedkar are not in a prominent place right in front of Parliament House where MPs could conduct peaceful protests”.

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).
