New Delhi, April 9

Stating that “alarm bells” are ringing in the Indian economy, the Congress on Tuesday claimed that stagnant wages and high inflation are pushing households into debt by forcing people to take loans for meeting their daily expenses.

Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh also stressed that the Congress’ ‘Nyay Patra’ (manifesto) is a direct response to the “failures” of the government.

He said the latest report from a leading financial services company shows the devastating impact that Modi’s policies have had on Indian households.

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).
