New Delhi, February 13

In the Rajya Sabha on Monday, Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar named seven protesting Opposition members but did not specify any disciplinary action against them.

The seven members are Kumar Ketkar, Phulo Devi Netam, Imran Pratapgarhi and Shaktisinh Gohil of Congress and Raghav Chadha, Sanjay Singh and Sushil Kumar Gupta of AAP.

Annoyed by the noisy protest by Opposition members on the Adani issue, Piyush Goyal, Leader of the House, urged the Chairman to name some members or adjourn the House.

After naming the seven members, Dhankhar briefly adjourned 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).
