While Prof Manjit Singh highlighted the importance of youth in the farmers’ movement, Satnam Singh Tanda of Naujawan Kisan Ekta and Punjabi Manch expressed relief over the bail granted to Nodeep Kaur and Disha Ravi.

We condemn the ‘illegal’ arrests of people during the farmers’ agitation as reports regarding 22-year-old Ranjeet Singh have suggested. — Satnam Singh Tanda, Farmer activist

“We condemn illegal arrests of the people made during the farmers’ agitation as reports regarding 22-year-old Ranjeet Singh have suggested,” said Tanda.

Children Harseerat Kaur, Abhijot Singh and Fateh Singh, all below the age of 10, were seen riding tricycles modified to look like tiny tractors as they raised slogans of “No farmer, no food”.

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).
