Hisar, April 23

Meghalaya Governor Satyapal Malik has described the attitude of the Centre towards the farmers’ agitation as “tyrannical” and “condemnable” while adding that attempt was made to “torpedo” and “defame” the agitation instead of opening up dialogue with the protesting farmers.

The Governor has responded to a letter by Independent MLA from Charkhi Dadri Sombir Sangwan who is also ‘pradhan’ of Sangwan khap. Sangwan — on behalf of the kisan mahapanchayat held on April 11 at Kitlana toll plaza in Bhiwani district – had written a letter to Malik seeking his views regarding the farmers’ stir.

Sangwan told The Tribune today that he got a two-page letter from the Governor on Whatsapp today.

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).
