BJP leader Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal has lauded Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s stand on Naxalism, calling it a historic and decisive move to eradicate left-wing extremism from India.

In a statement, Grewal commended Shah’s recent declaration as a “bold and strategic offensive,” designed to reclaim every part of Indian territory from the grip of Naxalite insurgency.

Grewal welcomed Shah’s announcement of a Rs 1 crore development fund for each village that actively contributes to eliminating Naxalism. He also praised the government’s initiative on directly purchasing tendu leaves from tribal gatherers at Rs 500 per stack, calling it a “landmark reform”.

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).
