New Delhi, December 20

Highlighting the increasing incidents of sacrilege in Punjab, AAP leader Raghav Chadha on Tuesday moved a Suspension of Business Notice under Rule 267 in the Rajya Sabha.

In a bilingual letter to the Chairman, Chadha said Punjabis all over the world are agitated due to the increasing incidents of sacrilege. Insults to the holy books could not be tolerated, he added.

He recalled the old incidents saying several incidents of disrespect to the holy books were coming forward.

He said there is a need to bring a law that gives the strictest punishment to the offenders.

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).
