Chandigarh, December 16

A sexist meme comparing Miss World Harnaaz Sandhu’s win to Olympic gold medallists Neeraj Chopra, Yogeshwar Dutt and Ravi Dahiya has not gone down well with the netizens.

Lakshman, a twitter user, with the handle name @Rebel_notout, shared a misogynist meme that compared Harnaaz’s win to the Olympic gold medallists’ achievements.

He shared photos where Harnaaz Sandhu is wearing a swimsuit and Neeraj Chopra, Yogeshwar Dutt and Ravi Dahiya are standing on the podium attired in track suits.

He captioned it: “How boys think they can make their country proud – How Girls think they can make their country proud”.

This picture and the caption somewhere showed Harnaaz Sandhu in bad light for which Laksham was roasted ruthlessly online.

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).
