Fatehgarh Sahib, July 19

SKM leader Jagjit Singh Dalewal while addressing the mediapersons today after meeting agitating farmers here, said that it is shocking and unfortunate that the Haryana Government has honoured the police officers who allegedly shot at the agitating farmers killing Subhkaran Singh and injuring many others, which reminds one of the infamous General Dyer who was honoured by the British for the massacre of innocent people at Jallianwala Bagh.

He said that it was former PM Lal Bahadur Shastri who had given the slogan of Jai Jawan Jai Kisan. But unfortunately, the present dispensation not only brought down the position of farmers but also of the soldiers by bringing adhocism in the recruitment of soldiers.

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).
