Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal on Monday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to go to Jantar Mantar and listen to the “mann ki baat” of protesting women wrestlers, saying that such a step would show that the PM is willing to understand their pain.

Sibal, a senior advocate, has represented the wrestlers in the Supreme Court.

His remarks come a day after the 100th episode of Modi’s “Mann ki Baat” radio programme was broadcast.

In a tweet, Sibal said, “Congratulations Modi ji: For your 100th ‘Mann ki Baat’. If you have time Modi ji please go to Jantar Mantar and listen to the protesting women wrestlers ‘mann ki baat’.”

“That will show that our Prime Minister is willing to understand their pain!” Sibal said.

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).
