Amritsar, January 8

In an appeal to all political parties to come together on the SYL issue, BJP leader Sarchand Singh has asked leaders of political parties to stop politising the issue.

Criticising SAD leader Sukhbir Singh Badal for his alleged efforts to portray him as a protector of Punjab’s water, Sarchand said it was during SAD’s rule that the procedure to acquire land for the SYL canal was initiated.

He said BJP state chief Ashwani Sharma had already said Punjab did not have any water to share with other states. He said state government should look into the matter from state’s viewpoint and not from its political interest.

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).
