New Delhi, April 24

The Congress and BJP entered into a political slugfest on Sunday over Yes Bank co-founder and former CEO Rana Kapoor’s allegation that he was “forced” to buy an MF Husain painting for Rs 2 crore from Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, with the Opposition party calling it “political vendetta” and the ruling party accusing the Gandhi family of being “extortionists”.

BJP’s IT cell head Amit Malviya slammed the Congress for extorting money from people from a position of power. Countering the allegations, Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi termed it “political vendetta” and the result of “government’s pressure tactics and coercion” on a person behind bars, who is eager to get his freedom. —

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).
