TMC spokesperson Saket Gokhale has moved the Supreme Court challenging the extension granted to Director of Enforcement Directorate Sanjay Kumar Mishra.

In his plea, Gokhale contended that the extension given to Mishra as the ED Director was invalid under the Central Vigilance Commission Act and went against the SC’s September 2021 verdict on the issue. Meanwhile, the ED has summoned AMMK leader TTV Dhinakaran to appear before it on Friday for questioning under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act in connection with its probe into a case linked to alleged bribing of Election Commission officials to get the AIADMK’s “Two leaves” symbol for the VK Sasikala faction. —

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).
