Chandigarh, April 4

In protest against the arrest of AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal, a mass hunger strike will be held on April 7 at Khatkar Kalan, the native village of Bhagat Singh, which will be led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.

The party had given a call for a mass hunger strike across the country yesterday to protest against Kejriwal’s arrest. Sources say that the party’s Punjab unit is going to organise a mass hunger strike at Khatkar Kalan, in which the party’s MLAs and key office-bearers will participate. The party will also observe fasts at the district level.

Apart from this, Bhagwant Mann will start a contact campaign with AAP volunteers to give a fillip to the party campaign in 13 Lok Sabha constituencies here.

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).
