Fatehgarh Sahib, Feb 22

On a call given by the state unit of AAP, the district unit of the party, led by Jaswinder Singh Balahra, district president, today staged a dharna against the Modi government.

The protesters demanded the rollback of the hike in fuel prices. All top leaders of AAP, including NS Tiwana, Rashpinder Singh, Ajay Libra, Lakhbr Singh Rai and Amrinder Singh Mandofal, took part in the protest and later submitted a memorandum to the DC.

The leaders said the Modi government was profiteering from the miseries of people by repeatedly increasing excise duty on petrol and diesel. — TNS

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).
