Chandigarh, February 3

The Bharti Kisan Union (Ekta Ugrahan) has condemned the BJP government over the union Budget and declared it to be anti-farmer.

While issuing a joint press release here, union president Joginder Singh Ugrahan and its general secretary Sukhdev Singh Kokri Kalan have with facts and figures alleged the Centre of imposing huge cuts on government purchase of crops on MSP and also on subsidises to the agricultural sector. —

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).
