Chandigarh, January 5

Leader of the Opposition (LoP) Partap Singh Bajwa on Thursday slammed the Aam Aadmi Party government for publishing advertisements that look like authentic news reports or articles to hide the actual condition of Punjab.

“The only purpose behind such ‘advertorials’ is to befool the people. Why do they have to spend crores of rupees on publicity if there is ‘peace and progress’ in the state in a real sense,” Bajwa asked.

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).
