The Leader of the Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa today lashed out at the Haryana Government for resorting to police excesses once again to strangulate the peaceful foot march of Punjabi farmers.

“The CM Nayab Singh Saini-led BJP government in Haryana has done barricading similar to an international border. Heavy deployment of cops at the Shambhu border has been building a sense of alienation among the Punjabi farmers,” Bajwa added.

The LoP said several farmers had been injured after the oppressive BJP government fired tear gas shells against the Punjabi farmers heading to Delhi on foot once again.

“Peaceful protests are safety valves for the people to vent their anger and make their voices heard. Suppressing such protests often turns out to be catastrophic,” said Bajwa, adding that the Centre should listen to the farmers.

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).
