Rohtak, October 6

The Haryana unit of the All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee (AIKSCC) condemned the canecharge on the protesting farmers in Sirsa.

AIKSCC leader Inderjit Singh claimed the farmers were peacefully taking out a protest march and heading towards the Chautala house to submit a memorandum when the police resorted to lathicharge and water cannons, leaving many injured.

Singh said the AIKSCC would continue the agitation, as announced last week. They would observe October 14 as the MSP day and gherao Delhi on November 26 and 27.

“The resistance will continue until thethree legislations are annulled,” he added.

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).
