Chandigarh, November 3

Targeting the AAP leadership for “hypocrisy” over the issue of stubble-burning, former MP and BJP leader Sunil Jakhar has said the double speak would hardly surprise anyone.

“The AAP regime in Punjab has failed miserably in evolving a strategy to deal with the issue which affects public health,” Jakhar said.

In a statement issued here today, Jakhar pointed out that until last year, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was blaming the then Punjab Government and farmers for burning stubble to shift the blame. “This year, when they have formed a government in Punjab, their stand has very conveniently changed,” he added.

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).
