Chandigarh, February 28

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor is considered as a virtuoso when it comes to having absolute prowess in English language. Many tweets and public interactions of his are testimony to how people often resort to dictionaries to understand his complex English. The exemplar of the aforementioned statement was seen at Shashi Tharoor’s Nagaland event, where a person reached with a dictionary.

A video in this regard has been shared by a user, R Lungleng. “Someone in Nagaland literally brought Oxford Dictionary to my show to listen to Dr. @ShashiTharoor. Bringing Dictionary along was just a joke statement until I saw this,” the caption reads.

Since being shared, the post has amassed over 7,000 views. Netizens are in splits over the act.

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).
