Activists of the BKU (Sidhupur) burnt an effigy of CM Bhagwant Mann and AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal outside the district administrative complex (DC office) in Sangrur on Tuesday. The protest call was given by the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (Non-Political).

They were protesting against the arrest of farm leaders and villagers opposing the laying of a sewage line through Ghasokhana village in Bathinda.

Dirba block president Sukhchain Singh Shadihari, Bhawanigarh block president Karnail Singh Kakra and Sunam block general secretary Kewal Singh Jawandha said that the government wanted to crush the voice of the agitating leaders by putting them behind bars.

They said the government was “committing atrocities” on the agitating farmers and that would not be tolerated.

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).
