Jalandhar, April 1

Two days after AAP leaders pasted “Modi Hatao, Desh Bachao” posters in Jalandhar, an FIR has been registered against unidenitified persons under the Prevention of Defacement of Property Act.

The FIR comes in the wake of a formal complaint by the BJP against AAP leaders, including Cabinet Minister Harbhajan Singh ETO, MLA Raman Arora and Atam Prakash Babloo.

Tarun Chugh, general secretary, BJP, had lodged a formal complaint with the Governor and the Election Commission seeking action against ETO for violation of model code of conduct in Jalandhar parliamentary constituency.

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).
