A TMC delegation of two MPs met President Ram Nath Kovind in Delhi today to seek the removal of Tushar Mehta as Solicitor General (SG).

“We have submitted a memorandum to the President regarding a matter of great impropriety concerning the office of SG Tushar Mehta,” TMC MP Mahua Moitra said at a press conference. “We asked for the immediate resignation of the SG on the grounds of gross misconduct,” she said.

In its memorandum, the party claimed that various news reports with photographs and videos suggested that BJP leader and Narada case accused Suvendu Adhikari and Mehta held a one-on-one meeting. — TNS

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).
