A Tiranga Yatra, led by BJP national secretary and former minister Om Prakash Dhankar, was taken out in Patauda village under the Badli Assembly segment here on Sunday.

Speaking on the occasion, Dhankar said, during Operation Sindoor, the bravery of the Army’s warriors was witnessed by the world.

Some foreign powers were announcing tariff hikes on India to curb its rapidly growing economy, he added, claiming that these had eyes on the production and income of our farmers, livestock breeders, and fishers.

“Prime Minister Modi has sent a clear message to these foreign powers that under no circumstances will we compromise the interests of our farmers, livestock breeders, and fishers,” he said.

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).
