Chandigarh, August 29

The state unit of AAP today condemned “indiscriminate” canecharge on Haryana and Punjab farmers protesting the agriculture laws, saying the ruling BJP and Congress were adopting a dictatorial attitude to suppress the voice of the ‘annadatas’.

Rising above partisanship, the AAP said it would support the call for ‘Bharat Bandh’ on September 25 against the Centre’s stance on the farm laws.

In a statement, party’s Kisan Wing state president and MLA Kultar Singh Sandhwan accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar of unleashing violence on farmers. “The BJP will have to pay the price for such a repressive policy,” he said. — 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).
