Chandigarh, November 2

Leader of the Opposition Partap Bajwa has written to Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan about the non-proragation of the House that was affecting the functioning of the legislative body and rights of its members.

The Vidhan Sabha session has not been prorogued amid a confrontation between the Governor and the government. If the House is not prorogued, MLAs could not send fresh questions to the Vidhan Sabha Secretariat to be tabled in the House.

In a DO letter, Bajwa said, “We must address this issue promptly and ensure the continued sanctity and dignity of our Vidhan Sabha.”

He said the precedent of non-prorogation of the House had hindered the fundamental right of the members to seek information on matters of public interest.

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).
