Chandigarh, July 25

An edited video from outgoing President Ram Nath Kovind’s farewell ceremony went viral allegedly showing that Prime Minister Modi disrespected him.

In the cropped video, it is shown that the PM is not greeting Kovind and instead busy looking at the cameras. The video was shared by opposition leaders with the false claim that the PM “ignored Kovind”.

Twitter later tagged their videos as “out of context”.

‘Such an insult, very sorry Sir. These people are like this, your term is over, now they will not even look at you,’ AAP’s Sanjay Singh tweeted.

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).
