Demanding the scrapping of Agnipath scheme, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge said PM Narendra Modi’s claim regarding the implementation of the Agnipath scheme at the behest of the Army was a “blatant lie” and an “unforgivable insult” to the forces.

Kharge pointed out that former Army Chief General MM Naravane had called the scheme a “bolt out of the blue” for the Navy and Air Force. Taking to X, Kharge said according to news reports, General (retd) MM Naravane had written a book, which was stalled from being published by the Modi government.

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).
