Gurugram, December 22

On the second day of the Congress’s ongoing Bharat Jodo Yatra in Haryana, former CM and senior Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda said the state government was trying to disrupt the Congress’s yatra by cutting power supply in villages where they were camping.

“Power supply was disrupted in Bhadas village, where we camped last night, and nearby areas after the yatra crossed Nuh. Officials have no reason to offer. They don’t want people to see, join or greet Rahul Gandhi, but even in darkness people thronged streets,” said Hooda.

Supporting the allegations, Rajya Sabha MP Jairam Ramesh said they had faced difficulty in all BJP-ruled states but the situation was worst in Haryana. “In some states, our posters were torn and bid to create law and order issues was made. Causing inconvenience to people for political vendetta is not good politics,” said Ramesh.

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).
