Karnal, June 11

Karnal MP Sanjay Bhatia was allegedly shown black flags by farmers on Friday near Baldi bypass. He had stopped there to drink sugarcane juice from a kiosk.

A group of six farmers raised slogans against the MP and criticised him for speaking against farmers. The police accompanying the MP tried to stop them, but one of them threw a black flag towards the MP’s vehicle.

“When we came to know that the MP has stopped his vehicle near Baldi bypass, we reached there and showed him black flags,” said Bahadur Singh Mehla of the BKU (Charuni).

The MP said, “I was going to Yamunanagar. I stopped near the new bus stand. In the meantime, a group of farmers came there. Every one has the right to protest, but this is not the right way.” — TNS

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).
