Karnal: Karam Singh Mathana, officiating state BKU (Charuni) president, has said the tractor march on the Republic Day would be peaceful and a large number of farmers from Kaithal district would participate in it.

Vikram Kasana, president of the BKU’s youth wing, also reiterated that there was no plan to gherao the Parliament and reach Red Fort. “We will hold the tractor march peacefully as decided by the Sanyukt Kisan Morcha,” he said.

Both leaders accused the Union and the state governments of defaming the protest. Kasana said farmers would not appear before the committee constituted by the Supreme Court. TNS

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).
