Nangal, April 14

Condemning the murder of president of the local unit of Vishawa Hindu Parishad (VHP) Vikas Bagga, Punjab BJP President Sunil Jakhar blamed the state government for it. He claimed that it was a politically motivated target killing, aimed at vitiating the peace and communal harmony in Punjab, ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.

Jakhar was addressing a gathering at a dharna by BJP workers, relatives of the deceased and local residents. He said the killing was meant to foment communal strife in the state.

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).
