New Delhi, August 3

Rajya Sabha was adjourned on Tuesday till noon amid protests by opposition members.

Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu adjourned the House after the listed papers were laid on the table.

Before the adjournment, Minority Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi raised the point order saying when majority of the House is willing to run the House smoothly, a few members were raising non-issues and disrupting the proceedings.

Later, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Prahlad Joshi launched a scathing attack on the opposition members, particularly belonging to the TMC, saying they should apologise to Parliament and the country for their misconduct in the House.

Repeated requests by the Chair asking agitating members to go back to their seats remained unheeded forcing the Chairman to adjourn the House.

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).
