New Delhi: The Congress expressed concern about the burgeoning rich-poor gap in the country, saying it was worse than even the British Raj. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said the findings were extremely worrying. “Modi’s Billionaire Raj, nurtured by him to favour his friends and fund his party’s campaigns, is now more unequal than the British Raj,” he said, adding the BJP’s policies were focused on creating billionaire wealth.

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).
