Chandigarh, February 3

Leader of the Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa on Friday slammed the AAP government for its “deliberate attempt” to stop issuing funds under the Shagun Scheme (now Aashirwad Scheme), which entitles the girls belonging to the underprivileged sections, Scheduled Caste, and Scheduled Tribes, to financial assistance during their wedding.

Citing media reports, the senior Congress leader said the government had been receiving thousands of files from those, who were asking for benefits of the scheme.

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).
