BQ: “I welcome the decision on MPLAD funds. I have been arguing for long that the approximately Rs 7,000 crore given to MPs & MLAs annually for development works should be used as a corpus for state funding of elections.” Jairam Ramesh, Cong ex-minister

Will undermine role of MPs

“INC supports the salary cut for MPs. But MPLAD fund is meant to execute developmental works in the constituency. Suspending it will be a huge disservice to the constituents and will undermine the role and functions of MP.” Randeep Surjewala, Cong spokesperson

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).
