Shimla, February 7

State Congress president Kuldeep Rathore today accused the BJP regime of being anti-apple growers as it had failed to fulfil its promise of enhancing the import duty on apple to protect Himachal apples from foreign competition.

In a statement here, Rathore said the BJP government was anti-fruit growers as it had not honoured its election promise of enhancing the import duty on foreign apples in the Budget presented last week.

He said the Budget was silent on the issue of hiking the import duty on foreign apple. —

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).
