New Delhi, September 7

Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju on Wednesday targeted AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal over a news report that the party-led Punjab government is yet to clear the salaries of its employees for August.

The news report, based on sources, claims that the Bhagwant Mann-led government is grappling with a paucity of funds and has not been able to pay its employees their August salaries.

Rijiju said Kejriwal wanted to make “India World No 1” but what has he done to “Punjab within a year”?

He claimed that huge revenue is being “extravagantly wasted” in Delhi as well, which is also ruled by the Aam Aadmi Party.

“Delhi is National Capital, and the per capita income of Delhi is three times higher than the average per capita of India. Huge revenue is extravagantly wasted,” he tweeted.

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).
