The All-India Kisan Sabha has condemned the Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit for his letter asking Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to remove Dr Satbir Singh Gosal as Vice-Chancellor of Punjab Agricultural University, stating that move is against the interests of the farmers.

State secretary Baldev Singh Nihalgarh said the university had found a hardworking VC in the form of Gosal and removing him from the position just for political reasons would not serve any purpose.

He added that the university was without a permanent vice chancellor for a long period and with Dr Gosal’s appointment, it was felt that he would steer the institute in the right direction. Lakhbir Singh Nizampura of Vegetable Growers Association said research institutions should be allowed to function without any political interference.

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).
