Chandigarh, May 3

In an apparent reference to the recent communal clashes in Patiala, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday took to Twitter to share pictures of himself celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr in Malerkotla.

He said those having bad intentions for Punjab can’t vitiate the state’s atmosphere with communal violence.

Mann wrote: “Punjab is the land of gurus, saints, fakirs, poets and martyrs…It is a fertile land but the seeds of hatred never grow here. These pictures are an apt answer to those who only think bad of Punjab.”

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).
