Vice-President M Venkaiah Naidu today expressed anguish over disruptions in Parliament and state legislatures and called upon people’s representatives to act as “role models” in raising the standards in public life.

After presenting “Sir M Visvesvarya Memorial Award” to MR Jayaram, Chairman, MS Ramaiah Group of Institutions, he said he was saddened by the “new low” in Parliament recently.

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).
