Chandigarh, January 27

Given China’s long-standing expansionist agenda, the IndianGovernment should have a clear and well-defined policy on its hostile neighbour, CM Capt Amarinder Singh said on Wednesday, warning that talks with Beijing alone would not lead anywhere.

While he hoped India got the better of China in the latest skirmish at Naku La on January 20, the CM, himself an ex-Army man, said India needs to improve and strengthen its military might. This incident, after the Galwan valley, shows that China hasn’t backed off, and has no intention to do so, from its expansionist policy.

The need for a strong military in the face of such threat at the border cannot be over-emphasised, he said. — TNS

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).
