Amritsar, November 20

Members of the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee (KMSC) today held a meeting to take stock of the preparations being made by its cadres in view of its plan to initiate protests outside the offices of the Deputy Commissioners from November 26.

KMSC general secretary Sarwan Singh Pandher said the protest would force the government to fulfil the promises which were pending. He said the government had failed to fulfil the promises made to the farming community.

Pandher also criticised the Chief Minister for his statements regarding the protesting unions stating that it was a manifestation of ruling class’ apathy towards the poor and downtrodden. He said when a government head fails to fulfil the promises he had made after accepting the demands he has no right to be in power.

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).
