New Delhi, October 6

The National Commission for Women (NCW) on Thursday issued a notice to Congress leader Udit Raj over his recent unsavoury remarks against President Droupadi Murmu even as the BJP slammed him for the comments, demanding an apology from the Congress.

The BJP attacked Udit Raj saying his comments revealed his anti-tribal mindset. Referring to a remark by President Murmu that most Indians ate salt produced in Gujarat, Udit Raj had tweeted, “No country should get a President like Droupadi Murmu. This is the height of sycophancy. She says 70 per cent of people eat Gujarat’s salt. Spend your life eating salt, then you will know the truth.”

Udit Raj’s remarks drew sharp rebuttals on social media. NCW chairperson Rekha Sharma, in a notice to Udit Raj, today asked him to appear on October 10 and explain his “extremely condemnable and shameful” comments.

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).
