New Delhi, February 16

The Congress today condemned the police action against farmers who are pressing the government to fulfil its promise of giving legal status to MSP for crops.

At a press meet here today, All-India Kisan Congress chairman Sukhpal Singh Khaira said the Congress government would provide legal guarantee for MSP as had been demanded by the farmers. Khaira demanded the Centre should consider their legitimate demands. Moreover, he pointed out, these were the same demands, which had already been accepted by the government when the farmers withdrew their protest two years ago from the outskirts of Delhi.

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).
