The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Tuesday again pressed its demand to bring in measures to “free Hindu temples” from government control and said it would soon launch a nationwide campaign to achieve the goal.

The outfit has also demanded a judicial inquiry into the Tirupati laddoo controversy. “The Vishwa Hindu Parishad urges all governments to immediately free all temples from their illegal and immoral possession and hand them over to Hindu saints and devotees,” VHP joint general secretary Surendra Jain said. He added that the organisation would hold demonstrations to press for this demand.

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).
