New Delhi, December 8

Several members of the US House of Representatives have come out in support of the agitating farmers.

Republican Congressman Doug LaMalfa said he stood in solidarity with Punjabi farmers protesting for their livelihood and protection from “misguided and manipulative government regulations”. They must be allowed to protest peacefully, he demanded.

Democratic Congressman Joshua Keck Harder wanted the Indian government to uphold the right to peaceful demonstration. — TNS

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).
