Chandigarh, February 1

Lauding the interim Budget presented by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman as an exercise in fiscal prudence and pragmatism focused on nation building, Punjab state BJP president Sunil Jakhar on Thursday said trust of 140-crore Indians in PM Modi’s long-term vision of a resilient India was reflected in the document.

“By avoiding the strong political temptation of announcing doles in an election year, the Prime Minister has once again shown the courage of conviction in BJP’s unmatchable record of inclusive development and growth in the last 10 years,” said Jakhar.

“Young India today knows the significance of the country’s rise in the last decade, which has only happened through the full realisation of our capabilities,” Jakhar said, while adding that every Indian today wanted unhindered development.

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).
