Ghazipur, March 14

The Veterans’ Association (VA), which has active units in over 22 states in the country, has decided to take the poll plunge starting with Uttar Pradesh elections till the 2024 Lok Sabha poll.

The decision by veterans, protesting with farmers at Ghazipur, Tikri and Singhu, is in contrast with the Sanyukt Kisan Morcha stance of requesting voters to vote against the BJP in poll-bound states.

“We will contest all state elections from 2022 till the 2024 Lok Sabha elections,” said Subedar Major JP Mishra(retd), founding president of the association. “We may also form a party. Otherwise, we will field Independent candidates,” he added. — 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).
