New Delhi, February 13

Congress veteran and party campaign incharge for Uttarakhand Harish Rawat on Sunday hit out at Union Home Minister Amit Shah for “abusing an Uttarakhandi”.

“What is the meaning of abusing an Uttarakhandi, Mr Amit Shah? Your words are a reflection of your narrow thinking about the people of the state. I am a worshipper of Lord Bhairav. I will do whatever it takes to protect my state and its culture,” Rawat tweeted.

He posted a video of Shah who is heard saying, “Yeh dhobi kaa…na ghar kaa na ghat ka.”

Rawat posted his video message on Twitter saying, “Yesterday, Amit Shahji used words for me in my home town….All I want to say is if the state’s interests are compromised I will not only bark, I will also bite.” —

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).
