(Strap) Amit Malviya, Digvijay, Swara Bhasker directed to remove Twitter posts

New Delhi, October 6

The National Commission for Women (NCW) has sought an explanation from BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya, Congress leader Digvijay Singh and actress Swara Bhasker for allegedly revealing the identity of the Hathras victim on Twitter.

The NCW has also directed them to immediately remove these posts and refrain from sharing such posts in future. In separate notices to them, the NCW said it had come across several Twitter posts wherein the picture of the victim of the alleged gang-rape incident was used.

“You are hereby required to provide a satisfactory explanation to the commission on receipt of this notice,” it stated in the notice. — 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).
