Congress workers, led by the party’s district vice-president Sudhir Bhadoo, held a protest against Union Home Minister Amit Shah over his controversial remarks against Dr BR Ambdekar, at the Sitto Gunno sub-tehsil terminal in the Balluana constituency here today.

They shouted slogans against the minister and burnt his effigy.

Bhadoo and Mahila Congress activist Rajinder Kaur of Rajpura village said BJP leaders had no respect for Dalits. The saffron party leaders, instead of regretting the remarks, were trying to defend Shah and blaming Congress stalwarts, they added, while seeking a public apology by the minister for hurting the sentiments of the Dalit community across the country.

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).
