Chandigarh, February 14

Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Monday announced that free education would be provided up to university level in the government sector in case the Congress returned to power.

In private sector, the general category students would be provided scholarship on the pattern of SC post matric scholarship scheme, he said.

Besides, he promised a host of freebies in various sectors, including health. He also promised one lakh jobs for the people of Punjab, if the Congress returned to power.

On the Aam Aadmi Party, he said, “AAP lies every day. I am shocked at their lies. What change are they talking of. Every third person in AAP is involved in crime.”

“The SAD has the maximum number of people with a criminal record, followed by AAP,” he said.

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).
