The Ropar unit of the BJP has decided to hold a mass protest against the state government’s land pooling policy, terming the initiative a bid to “snatch” farmers land for the “benefit” of real estate companies.

The move has come a day after Punjab BJP president Sunil Jakhar equated the initiative to a “Ponzi scheme to loot farmers, who he said were being enticed with a “false of promise” of four-time return.

The party, however, did not disclose the date and the duration of the proposed stir.

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).
