Chandigarh, September 17

A picture posted by a Delhi-based journalist triggered an emotional response from the Prime Minister on his 70th birthday on Thursday.

The journalist Sheela Bhatt, who has spent a good part of her career covering Gujarat politics, tweeted a photograph of Surabhiben Sheth tagging the Prime Minister. The tweet mentioned that the PM had stayed at the residence of Surabhiben and her husband Prof Praveen Sheth while pursuing Masters of Arts (MA) degree at Ahmedabad .

This triggered an emotional response from the Prime minister.

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).
