New Delhi, January 2

The swearing in of Lula was expectedly rocky with the outgoing President Jair Bolsonaro fleeing to the US to avoid the conventional handing over of the Presidential sash.

Bolsonaro left for the US on an Air Force plane while he was technically the President. The flight monitoring website Flightaware said the aircraft landed in Orlando, Florida, on Saturday.

Before leaving, a teary eyed Bolsonaro addressed followers in a live broadcast on his social networks in which he said the four years of his government gave “the best of himself”.

After claiming that the election was “stolen”, Bolsonaro had kept a low profile while his supporters demanded that military should stop Lula from becoming President.

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).
