Rohtak, November 24

Leaders of the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) and the CITU today held a meeting for reviewing preparations for the Mahapadav (mass sit-in) outside Raj Bhawan in Chandigarh from November 26 to 28.

The sit-in will be organised by the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) to mount pressure on the Centre for accepting its pending demands.

“The leaders accused the Modi government of deceiving farmers by not honouring the written assurance given on December 9,” said Inderjit Singh, vice-president, AIKS.

He said the assurances included legal guarantee of procurement of crops at MSP based on the recommendations of the Swaminathan Commission, withdrawal of police cases framed during agitation and withholding the disputed electricity Bill amendment.

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).
