Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee chief Sunil Jakhar has accused the Akalis of doing two U-turns in as many days on the issue of farm Bills.

Reacting to Akali Dal MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal’s statement that she wasn’t calling the three farm Bills, brought in by Narendra Modi government, “anti-farmer” but farmers were calling these so, Jakhar claimed the Akali leader’s comment distancing herself from farmers “would bury her party completely”.

“If you thought Akali popularity has hit the bottom, just wait. The Badals are digging even deeper,” said Jakhar.

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).
