New Delhi, February 6

The BJP today postponed its scheduled poll related programmes in Uttar Pradesh and Goa in deference to the departed legend Lata Mangeshkar.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi cancelled his virtual rally for Goa and the manifesto release programme for the poll-bound state was also postponed.

In UP, BJP postponed the manifesto release event after Union Home Minister Amit Shah, CM Yogi Adityanath, Deputy CM KP Maurya and UP BJP chief Swatantra Dev Singh observed a two-minute silence at the Lucknow BJP office in the memory of Mangeshkar.

Meanwhile, the PM will attend Mangeshkar’s funeral in Mumbai later today.

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).
