Rohtak, January 28

A meeting of various farm organistations was held at Jat Bhawan here.

After the meeting, the farm leaders announced to celebrate January 31 as “betrayal day”, alleging that the Centre had not yet fulfilled the promises made at the time of the end of the farmers’ protest at Delhi borders. They also decided to burn the effigy of the Centre in every district on that day.

“Representatives of around 40 farm outfits and khaps across the state attended the meeting and registered their protest against the Centre. Neither the cases booked against farmers have been withdrawn nor has any legal guarantee on MSP been given,” said Virendra Hooda of the, BKU (Kisan Sarkar).

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).
