Faridkot: Three days after the alleged controversial remarks by BJP candidate Hans Raj Hans at Bihlewala village in Faridkot, Returning Officer of the Faridkot constituency issued a notice to him on Sunday. He will have to file a reply within 24 hours. The action comes following a complaint by representatives of the United Kisan Morcha who accused him of using “inflammatory” language, aimed at polarising voters along caste lines.

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).
