Jalandhar, April 10

Mahila Kisan Union president Rajwinder Kaur Raju on Sunday slammed the BJP for undermining the importance of regional languages. She said the saffron party was trying to enforce ‘Hindi imperialism’ in a multilingual, diverse and multi-ethnic country by implementing its strategic cultural, religious and linguistic agenda against regional languages in order to establish the dominance of the Sanskrit and Hindi languages.

In a statement issued here on Sunday, Rajwinder Kaur Raju reacted strongly to Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s comment regarding the official language, saying Hindi was never the national language of the country and nor would it be accepted by the federal states.

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).
