Chandigarh, November 17

National president of the Bhartiya Kisan Union (Charuni) Gurnam Singh Charuni today held a press conference and threatened to block the GT Road in Ambala on November 24, if the state government didn’t cancel all cases registered against farmers.

As the Railways has dropped cases against farmers, the Charuni group has decided not to block railway tracks on November 24.

Charuni said though the state government had cancelled some cases, many were still pending in various courts due to which arms licences had been revoked and passports not renewed.

“Some cases in which farmer leaders have been named as accused have been declared untraced. This is backtracking on earlier assurances given by the government. The untraced cases with names of farmers can be opened for probe in future,” he said.

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).
