“The USA is dictating terms on trade and tariffs all over the world for establishing its hegemony in international trade. The opening of the agriculture sector to foreign investors will prove detrimental to the interests of farmers here. This amounts to the implementation of WTO guidelines against which farmers in the country have been fighting since long,” said SKM leaders Balbir Singh Rajewal, Raminder Singh Patiala and Prem Singh Bhangu, during an interaction with media persons here on Saturday.

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).
