Jammu, December 12

Agitated over the alleged “derogatory remarks by a senior National Panthers Party (NPP) leader, several BJP Mahila Morcha activists on Saturday stormed the office of the rival party here and later staged a protest after finding all rooms locked.

The NPP condemned the BJP for “vandalising” its Gandhi Nagar office and sought appropriate punitive action against the offenders.

“NPP president Balwant Singh Mankotia has hurt the women of the country by using words like ‘Nachniya and Mujra Karne Wali’ against a party leader during an election rally in Udhampur,” said BJP Mahila Morcha president Sanjita Dogra. — PTI

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).
