Chandigarh, March 1

Power Minister Harbhajan Singh ETO has termed the decision of the Supreme Court to convene the Budget session from March 3 as a victory of democracy.

He said the apex court had approved the decision of the Punjab Cabinet regarding convening of the Budget session.

He added that the Constitution of India acts as a guardian of democracy.

The Cabinet Minister said the Governors should not act as spokespersons of the Centre and should discharge their responsibilities as per the will and advice of the elected government in a state.

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).
