Chandigarh, October 4

The Chandigarh Youth Congress today took out a candle march across Chandigarh against the violence during a farmers’ protest at Lakhimpur Kheri on Sunday.

Its chief, Manoj Lubana, said the Lakhimpur Kheri violence showed the insensitive face of the ruling BJP. He said the incident would prove the last nail in the BJP’s coffin.

Chandigarh Congress president Subhash Chawla warned BJP ministers and lawmakers against entering and organising programmes in Chandigarh as people were angry and anything could happen. Manish Bansal, who was also present during the march, alleged: “The incident at Lakhimpur Kheri is highly deplorable.”

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).
