Amid allegations of misuse of the Central agencies against opposition leaders, Union Minister Meenakshi Lekhi on Thursday sparked a controversy when she asked opposition MPs in the Lok Sabha to keep mum or else the Enforcement Directorate (ED) would show up at their doorsteps.

The TMC, AAP and other opposition parties have accused the Union Minister of openly threatening rival MPs. The NCP said the insinuating threat given by Lekhi in the heat of the moment proved that central agencies were being misused.

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).
