Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav on Friday talked to BKU leader Rakesh Tikait and extended his support to the farmers’ cause.

Yadav on Thursday slammed the Yogi Adityanath government for its action against protestors at Ghazipur. He accused the BJP government of “crushing the farmers’ movement using deceit”.

He warned that Indian’s soul is with the farmers and that “farmers will vote against the government’s brutality in the next election by a vote”.

“Today, the farmers whom the BJP is picking up from the road will bring the BJP on the road tomorrow,” he said.

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).
