After a video of a faculty member of Lovely Professional University (LPU) went viral on social media, in which she could be seen hurting religious sentiments, the university management reportedly issued orders and relieved her from service with immediate effect.

Meanwhile, acting on the remarks made by her, the LPU in its statement, said: “We understand that some people have been hurt by the video shared on social media where a faculty member can be heard sharing her personal opinion. We wish to clarify that the views shared by her are absolutely personal. The university does not endorse any of them. We have always been a secular university, where people from all religions and faith are treated equally with love and respect.

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).
