The Union Government has left out West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee from an event being organised in Kolkata tomorrow to pay tribute to Raja Ram Mohan Roy.

The yearlong 250th birth anniversary celebration of the 18th century reformer will begin at Raja Ram Mohan Roy Library Foundation at Kolkata’s Salt Lake area. Union Culture Minister G Kishan Reddy will be flying to Kolkata to participate in the event. While West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar has been invited for the function, Mamata Banerjee has been ignored.

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).
