Hoshiarpur, September 26

Industries and Commerce Minister Sunder Sham Arora today accused the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Central Government of ignoring the interests of farmers and “securing benefits” for corporate houses.

The minister said the Centre would not succeed in its ‘nefarious’ design to destroy the agrarian sector. “The Punjab Government will stand by farmers against the apathetic attitude of the Centre and will work shoulder-to-shoulder with them as our farmers have been feeding the entire country for long,” Arora said. The minister said the farm Bills would ruin all sections of society.

The minister said the recent exclusion of cereals, pulses, onion and potatoes from the list of essential commodities would further lead to hoarding and black-marketing. — OC

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).
