New Delhi, March 12

Three days after the Election Commission removed four officials, including Additional District Magistrate of Varanasi, for unauthorised transport of EVMs, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav today again raised the EVM issue, urging the Supreme Court and President Ram Nath Kovind to protect an election official whose audio referring to change of EVMs went viral today.

“An audio clip of an official talking to someone about changing of EVMs has gone viral. I appeal to the SC and the President to take note and grant protection to him. The life of an individual is more important than forming a government,” Akhilesh tweeted today. —

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).
