Chandigarh, October 3

Members of the National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) and the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) today locked the Punjab BJP office in Sector 37 in protest against the new farm laws.

“It is evident that farmers across the country are vexed with the new laws. Farmers consider it an “English law”, which used to be imposed on Indian poor farmers in the British era. The country knows that only Punjab and Haryana farmers who sell their farm products on or over MSP are far better off than other farmers in the country. Not introducing MSP means bringing all farmers into the same fate, which will be very unfortunate for the progress of country,” said Sunny Mehta, AICC member. The police later detained more than 15 members of both parties.

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).
