In an interesting observation, only the Live telecast of Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh was aired on the Day Two of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha special session.

The moment Congress MLA Navjot Singh Sidhu, who spoke after the Chief Minister, stood up to speak, the Live telecast ended abruptly on the Facebook page and other social media platforms of the Punjab government.

As per sources, the Live telecast was restricted to the Chief Minister’s speech only.

Sidhu’s admirers said they wanted to hear the speech of the Congress MLA on the subject and the government should have aired his Live proceedings of the entire day as it was historic for the state.

People wanted to know the views of other MLAs as well, including the Opposition benches, they added.

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).
