Abohar, May 28

Even when Abohar MLA Sandeep Jakhar claims that he, although suspended by the AICC, has not so far joined BJP and was supporting Rana Gurmit Singh Sodhi only due to personal reverence for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Sanyukt Kisan Morcha activists today staged a 4-hour-dharna near his camp office in Subhash Nagar here.

Undeterred by the heat to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, some farmers staged a sit-in and announced to continue the same for four hours each day.

BKU leaders Jagjit Singh and Goldy Mammukhera said that they wanted answers to their questions from the leaders of the saffron party.

They said that before voting, one must think about the 750 farmers who sacrificed lives during farmers’ protest, the injured victims of atrocities at Khanauri border, Lakhimpur Kheri and other places.

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).
