Chandigarh, November 7

Imran Partapgarhi, poet and chairman of the minority department of All-India Congress Committee, today said the ruling BJP was trying to divide the country and set a communal narrative. He was addressing a public meeting at Mani Majra where he recited couplets to woo the gathering.

The Congress leader spoke of the “divisive politics” of the BJP and called upon people of Chandigarh to defeat it in the forthcoming Municipal Corporation elections.

Pawan Kumar Bansal, former Union minister and Congress treasurer, alleged that people of the country were suffering because of the faulty policies of the BJP.

City Congress president Subhash Chawla alleged, “The ruling BJP has emptied the coffers of the Chandigarh MC and backtracked on all promises it made to the city residents.” — 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).
