Chandigarh, August 6

Sangrur MP Simranjit Singh Mann today courted another controversy when he opposed the “Har Ghar Tiranga” campaign and said people should hoist a ‘kesri’ (saffron) flag on August 14 and 15.

In a video message, he appealed to the ‘panth’ to hoist saffron flags and Nishan Sahib on their houses.

Reacting to Simranjit Singh’s statement, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said this country has been freed from the British after sacrifices made by our forefathers. He said those opposing the Tricolour had been taking oath on the Constitution. — TNS

Double standards: CM

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).
