The Punjab Vidhan Sabha today unanimously passed a resolution condemning the alleged removal of photos of Dr BR Ambedkar and Bhagat Singh from the Delhi Chief Minister’s office and offices of ministers and MLAs.

Cabinet Minister Aman Arora moved the resolution, terming the move as “anti-Dalit” and disrespect to the architect of the Constitution. The house unanimously passed the resolution, deciding to write to the President of India against the move.

The opposition Congress supported the resolution, while AAP MLA Dr Sukhwinder Kumar Sukhi criticised BJP for suppressing the Dalits and minorities.

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).
