Jalandhar, December 13

Sukhpal Singh Khaira, Bholath MLA, today asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to hold a special referendum in Punjab and Haryana to peacefully resolve the deadlock over the controversial farm laws.

Khaira said a referendum seemed to be the only logical and democratic solution to the deadlock. He said he would write to the President and the Prime minister on the issue. Khaira also exhorted the state MLAs to build pressure by holding a dharna at Parliament or the PM’s house. — TNS

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).
