New Delhi/Faridabad, June 17

The Congress today demanded immediate withdrawal of Agnipath scheme. The party hardened its stand today amid massive protests across Telangana, Bihar, UP, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, with Rajya Sabha MP Deepender Hooda seeking “instant withdrawal”.

Meanwhile, AAP district president Dharambir Bhadana said the new law for recruitment of soldiers was against the interests of both youths and Indian forces. The rising unrest should be taken as a signal of its rejection by youth, 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).
