Chandigarh, February 21

Agriculture Minister Gurmeet Singh Khudian on Wednesday condemned the death of a young farmer at the Khanauri border. Khudian stated that such violence against own citizens was unacceptable and called upon the Union Government to intervene to stop the atrocities.

“The Centre must step in and end police brutality against our ‘Annadata’,” the minister urged. “These farmers are peacefully demanding their rights. Haryana’s treatment of them is deplorable,” he said. “Farmers deserve respect and protection. They should not face brutality while exercising their rights”, he stated.

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).
