UNA, NOVEMBER 6

Leader of the Opposition Mukesh Agnihotri today ridiculed the BJP manifesto, saying that it did not address the burning issues of unemployment and inflation, besides the problems being faced by employees, farmers and horticulturists.

Agnihotri said the BJP had not studied the manifesto before releasing it. “The party had a full five-year term to work for people and address their issues’, he said, adding that while the BJP was questioning the source of funding for the promises made by the Congress, it had not clarified from where they would fund their promises.

Agnihotri said the Congress was clear on reviving the old pension scheme for its employees, but the BJP is silent on the issue. They should clarify whether they were in favour or against the OPS, 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).
