Chandigarh, June 4

Former Leader of Opposition and secretary general of the INLD Abhay Singh Chautala said Jai Prakash Narayan had launched ‘jan andolan’ on June 5, 1974, marking the day as ‘Sampoorna Kranti Divas’, but the BJP government chose this day last year to bring three “black” agriculture laws.

He said the INLD had decided to observe ‘Sampoorna Kranti Diwas’ tomorrow and hold protest by burning copies of “black” agricultural laws at the district level in the entire state.

He said the INLD stood by farmers and every worker of the party was dedicated to the movement.

Chautala said he was the only MLA in the country who had resigned from his post on the call of farmers and was firmly supporting the farmers in the movement.

He said 50-bed hospitals each had been opened at Tikri and Singhu borders by his party for the farmers sitting on the dharnas.

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).
