A large number of BJP workers, led by party’s district president Didar Singh Bhatti, held a protest against the AAP government for not allowing them to organise camps. They raised slogans against the government and burnt its effigy during the demonstration in front of the Deputy Commissioner Office.

Addressing the protesters, Bhatti, former minister Dr Harbans Lal and party leader Geja Ram Balmiki said AAP did not initiate any step to provide the benefit of Union Government-sponsored schemes at the grassroots level. They said when the BJP started organising camps in the rural areas to apprise the beneficiaries of the Centre’s schemes, the police, allegedly on the orders of the AAP government, stopped all these camps and even detained their leaders and workers.

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).
