New Delhi: The Lok Sabha on Wednesday revoked last week’s resolution on suspension of seven Congress MPs who stood barred from House proceedings for the rest of the session due to their unruly behaviour. The suspension of Gaurav Gogoi, TN Prathapan, Dean Kuriakose, Rajmohan Unnithan, Manick Tagore, Benny Behnan and Gurjit Singh Aujla was revoked after the government moved a resolution in the LS and the House adopted it with a voice vote. The revocation effort was led by Speaker Om Birla, who had recused himself from the House proceedings last week, saying he was pained at the goings-on.

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).
