New Delhi, May 29

The Centre’s move to invite citizenship applications from members of minority communities from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh reveals the government’s “fascist character” and is a way to give a “backdoor entry” to the CAA-2019, the Left parties alleged today.

“Subterfuge. Rules under CAA-2019 not framed, yet the Centre issues gazette notification to implement it. Petitions challenging validity of the CAA remain unheard. Hope the SC takes this up promptly & stops backdoor implementation,” CPM general secretary Sitaram Yechury tweeted.

CPI general secretary D Raja said the move “exposes the fascist character” of the government. — PTI

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).
