Chandigarh, October 11

Protesting against the inaction of the BJP government at the Centre and the UP government in the Lakhimpur Kheri incident, the Chandigarh Youth Congress today observed “maun vrat” in front of the Punjab Governor’s House.

“The protest was to mirror the silence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah on the incident. The two have not commented directly or indirectly so far,” said Youth Congress president Manoj Lubana.

City party president Subhash Chawla said: “Even after seven days of the massacre with farmers in Lakhimpur, the Union Minister of State for Home is yet to be sacked.” — 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).
