New Delhi, February 13

The Congress on Tuesday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to directly talk to the agitating farmers and provide them justice. Addressing a press conference here, Congress general secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala also asked why were the farmers not being allowed to enter Delhi even though they had a record of always maintaining peace.

Referring to the heavy barricading of Delhi, Surjewala asked the central government whether it considered the protest by farmers an attack from some enemy country. Why else the roads were being blocked with boulders and other obstacles and deep and wide ditches had been dug to stop the progress of the farmers, Surjewala 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).
