The Congress government in Karnataka is all set to repeal the anti-conversion law that the BJP had brought through the ordinance route last year.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah-led state Cabinet today approved to annul The Karnataka Protection of Right to Freedom of Religion Act (anti-conversion law) which came into effect in 2022.

The Cabinet further decided to revise Kannada and Social Science textbooks of Classes VI to X in the state for this academic year after dropping chapters on RSS founder KB Hedgewar and Hindutva ideologue Veer Damodar Savarkar. The Cabinet also approved inclusion of chapters on social reformer Savitribai Phule, late PM Jawaharlal Nehru’s letters to Indira Gandhi and poetry on BR Ambedkar. BJP general secretary CT Ravi said, “Congress is the new Muslim League and it will go to any extent to hurt Hindus.”

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).
