Chandigarh, June 28

Ludhiana MP Ravneet Singh Bittu today tendered an unconditional apology before the Punjab State Commission for Scheduled Castes over his recent “pious” seat remark.

Stating this here, commission chairperson Tejinder Kaur said in a written explanation, Bittu said his intention was not to insult anyone and if his statement had hurt anyone’s feelings, he offered unconditional apology.

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).
