BJP leader Sukhminder Pal Singh Grewal has urged Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to declare MSP for 22 crops in Punjab.

In a press release issued here today, Grewal said if CM Mann failed to take the step, it would become evident that he was more focused on politics rather than genuinely supporting farmers. He criticised the Mann government, pointing out that despite making loud promises about procuring all 22 crops under MSP, the government had not done anything.

He further added that the Aam Aadmi Party had consistently encouraged protests and roadblocks, but now it was time for it to take concrete steps by purchasing all crops on MSP. Grewal urged Mann to make a decision in the Cabinet and introduce a legislation in the Assembly in this regard.

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).
