New Delhi, December 15

The Bharatiya Kisan Sangh (BKS) — an affiliate of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) — has joined the opposition to the genetically modified (GM) mustard variety ‘DMH-11’.

Bharatiya Kisan Sangh secretary Mohani Mohan, in a press conference here today, said the Union Government should immediately withdraw its approval to GM mustard.

BKS will hold a rally ‘Kisan Garjana’ to press upon their demands, including revocation of GM Mustard’s approval, at Ram Leela ground here on December 19.

Other demands of the union includes, profitable prices on the farm produce, no GST on agricultural equipment and fertilisers, and increase in Kisan Samman Rashi.

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).
