Students of the Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law (RGNUL) continued with their protest, calling for the removal of Vice-Chancellor Prof Jai Shankar Singh.

They accused him of making inappropriate comments about their attire and entering the girls’ hostel without intimation last Sunday. The VC has refuted the allegations, but the students continue to protest demanding his resignation.

Patiala MP Dr Dharamavira Gandhi joined the protesting students in demanding the resignation of the VC. He said he fully supported the rightful demands of the students. “The students were left with no option, but to protest after the university authorities tried to ignore the issue. I stand committed to the cause of the students,” 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).
