Rejecting Opposition charges that marshals prevented their protests, the government on Wednesday said security personnel were pushed and attacked in the Rajya Sabha during the passage of the insurance amendment Bill.

“The marshals were pushed and attacked and attempts were made to strangulate them,” Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralad Joshi said leveling serious charges on certain Opposition MPs who he did not name.

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).
