A slogan coined by the founding father of Bangladesh, late Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, to mobilise people of the then East Pakistan was today used by West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee to appeal to her party cadre to defeat the BJP in the 2024 General Election.

“Turn each home of Bangla into a fortress,” Banerjee said, quoting Rahman at a meeting in Kolkata on Tuesday.

Banerjee said that if the BJP was to be defeated in 2024, Bengal would have to show the way. “Similar fortresses will have to be built in Bihar, Rajasthan, Haryana, Tripura, Assam, Meghalaya and other places,” she added. —

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).
