New Delhi: The Election Commission today issued a notice to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for appealing to the Muslims to ensure their votes were not divided, which the poll panel claimed prima facie, appeared to be violation of the poll code. The CM has been given 48 hours to explain her stand.This comes a day after the PM hit out at the TMC chief, claiming her comments indicated that her Muslim vote bank was eroding. During a rally in Hooghly on April 3, Mamata had urged Muslims to vote en bloc for her party. TNS

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).
