Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today said Hinduism and Hindutva were “different things” and slammed the ideology of the BJP-RSS alleging it had spread hatred, drawing a sharp retort from the BJP which claimed that the Congress leadership nursed a “pathological hatred” for Hinduism.

“Is Hinduism about beating up a Sikh or a Muslim? In which book is it written?” Gandhi said.

BJP’s Sambit Patra alleged Gandhi had a history of making critical comments about Hinduism and its culture. — 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).
