New Delhi, August 7

Rajya Sabha chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar on Monday revoked Congress member Rajani Patil’s suspension with a voice vote after a resolution to this effect was moved by BJP’s Rakesh Sinha.

Patil was suspended from the House in February for video-graphing the proceedings of the House in contravention of rules.

Revocation of Patil’s suspension was part of government and opposition quid pro quo with respect to attendance in the Delhi Services bill debate later on Monday.

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).
