Leader of the Opposition (LoP) Partap Singh Bajwa told reporters on Monday that the draft Bill was handed over to Opposition parties just minutes before its scheduled discussion.

“This is not how serious legislative business is conducted, especially on issues that strike at the very heart of Punjab’s socio-religious fabric,” he said. Bajwa said the Congress stood against sacrilege and wanted to ensure that the Bill was thorough, sincere and subjected to full legislative scrutiny.

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).
