Chandigarh, January 7

The Bhartiya Kisan Union (Ekta-Ugrahan) today accused the BJP-led NDA government of resorting to propaganda to further its divisive game plan for political goals. In a statement, BKU president Joginder Singh Ugrahan and general secretary Sukhdev Singh Kokri Kalan said the unions had no plan to hold a demonstration to block the Prime Minister’s movement during his Ferozepur visit.

“No untoward incident occurred. There was no attempt to harm the Prime Minister. Not a single suspicious person was found near his convoy when it was stopped,” they stressed.

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).
