New Delhi, February 24

Breaking his silence on the ongoing political drama around the arrest of Congress leader Pawan Khera for his derogatory remarks against the prime minister, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday said Khera had tendered an unconditional apology but the matter wasn’t over.

“The majesty of law shall prevail. The accused has tendered an unconditional apology. We hope that keeping the sanctity of public spaces, no one will use uncivilised language in political discourse hereafter,” Sarma tweeted.

He said Assam Police would follow the matter to its logical end.

Sarma also posted the order of the Supreme Court granting interim relief to Khera till February 28 pointing to the part where Khera’s lawyer Abhishek Manu Singhvi says his client has tendered an unconditional apology.

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).
