The Congress on Saturday accused Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma of orchestrating a targeted assault on vehicles of party supporters during the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra of Rahul Gandhi in Lakhimpur.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on X said: “We strongly condemn the shameful attack on Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra vehicles and tearing of Congress’ banners and posters by BJP goons in Lakhimpur, Assam.”

He said in the last 10 years, the BJP had tried to trample upon rights of people. “It wants to muzzle the voices and hijack democracy,” he said, asserting, “The Congress will not be cowed down by such attacks and intimidation tactics employed by the BJP government in Assam, which is responsible for this.”

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).
