On the final day of the Assembly election campaign, former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda launched a scathing attack on the BJP, highlighting various issues, including the 2017 Panchkula violence, which left 40 persons dead, and Mirchpur. Hooda accused the BJP of mishandling the situation, stating, “The Dalit community has not forgotten the Panchkula incident. Of the 40 persons killed, it is said 30 were Dalits. Despite court orders, the BJP allowed the gathering in Panchkula, and even the high court questioned the deaths caused by police firing. Yet, the BJP has no answers.”

Addressing land acquisition policies, Hooda defended Congress’ farmer-friendly approach. “During Congress rule, we ensured that farmers received fair compensation by setting a floor rate for land prices. The BJP and INLD governments looted farmers in the name of land acquisition.”

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).
