New Delhi, May 21

After a controversial tweet on former PM Rajiv Gandhi from his Twitter account, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury claimed it had been hacked. Calling himself a “victim of a malicious campaign”, Chowdhury also filed a complaint at Delhi’s South Avenue police station on Saturday.

The post remembering Rajiv Gandhi read, “When a big tree falls, ground shakes”. However, he has denied having posted it saying: “I’m firmly stating that the tweet is nothing but a malicious campaign.”

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).
