Chandigarh/Amritsar, Feb 2

The Congress today released a two-minute theme song projecting the party’s developmental agenda, titled ‘Punjab di charhdi kala, Congress mange sarbat da bhala’.

The song broadly outlines the development works carried out by the state government, including setting up road network, new schools in villages and reduction of power tariff among other things.

Meanwhile, the SGPC has strongly objected to the song, claiming it disorts a prayer.

A complaint has been filed with the Chief Electoral Officer.

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).
