Members of the Democratic Employees’ Federation (DEF) Punjab district unit on Sunday protested against the state government for doing injustice to members of various unions on the day CM Bhagwant Mann held a roadshow in Shahkot.

The protesters burnt an effigy of the government and alleged that Democratic Asha Worker Facilitator Union (Punjab) general secretary Amritpal Kaur Nussi was placed under house arrest when CM Bhagwant Mann visited Shahkot.

District general secretary of the federation Kulwinder Singh Joshan, state president of the Democratic Asha Workers’ Union (Punjab) Mandeep Kaur Bilga, district president Gurjit Kaur Shahkot and many other leaders were raided by the police, the protesters claimed.

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).
