Fatehgarh Sahib, June 1

The Indian Farmers’ Association held a state-level meeting at Gurdwara Fatehgarh Sahib here today. A large number of farmers from across the state participated in the meeting.

National president of the association Satnam Singh Behru and state president Baldev Singh addressed the meeting.

Addressing the media, Behru said during the meeting, a decision was taken to launch an agitation to show their support the women wrestlers on strike.

Behru lashed out at the BJP and said it earlier deceived the farmers and is now trying to save its MP Brij Bhushan, the WFI chief, who has been accused of sexual harassment of women wrestlers.

He said, on June 5, the association would hold protests across the state at the district headquarters.

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).
