Garhshankar,: Members of the Kul Hind Kisan Sabha led by Darshan Singh and Jasveer Singh Khambra burnt effigy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday for not repealing the controversial agri laws. Addressing the farmers, comrade Gurnek Singh Bhajjal said labourers and farm unions were protesting from the last one year against the agri laws, but PM Modi was passing laws in favour of the capitalists. Darshan Singh Mattoo said for the last six months, farmers and labourers have been protesting on the borders of Delhi. Subhash Mattu said farmers will not return home without getting the farm laws revoked. Shingra Ram said the minimum support price should be provided to farmers. He alleged that PM Modi-led government was giving land to the capitalists at throw away prices. OC

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).
