Sonepat, July 13

To avoid a repeat of the Republic Day violence, the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) is wary ahead of the Parliament protest starting on July 22.

It has decided that no farmer without an ID or Aadhaar card will be allowed to protest at the Parliament, and the record of every protester will be maintained at the “kisan andolan” office.

The umbrella body of more than 40 farmers’ unions, which is spearheading the agitation for the scrapping of the three Central agricultural laws, said the preparation for their protest at the Parliament was in full swing. Starting on July 22 till the monsoon session ends, five farmers from each union will protest at the Parliament every day.

Darshan Pal Singh, SKM leader, said: “Every protester must carry an ID card so that notorious elements can’t enter farmers’ groups.” — 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).
