Ambala, May 21

Former state Home Minister Anil Vij today said no matter who ordered the firing on farmers, he took responsibility for it as he was the Home Minister then.

He said this after he was confronted by activists of the BKU (Shaheed Bhagat Singh), who expressed their resentment against the BJP government for not allowing the farmers to go to Delhi. The farmers showed black flags and asked Vij to quit the BJP.

Vij was on his way to attend a political event at Panjokhara Sahib village.

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).
