Chandigarh, October 11

Leader of the Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa has written to the Speaker regarding compromising the rights and privileges of the elected members.

Bajwa, in his letter, expressed concern over the frequent convening of Vidhan Sabha sessions on a short notice over the past nearly two years under the AAP regime.

“This practice jeopardises the fundamental democratic process by stifling opportunities for public issues to be addressed during essential parliamentary functions such as Question Hour, Zero Hour, Call Attention, Private Members’ Business and Legislative Business”, he said.

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).
