Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal today refuted the allegations that the PM Modi-led government had been discriminating Punjab in welfare schemes.

During a brief stay in Abohar on his way to Sadulshehar, Meghwal said Punjabis and their heritage was etched in the heart of PM Modi.

He asserted that the Centre was always striving to provide maximum support to the people of Punjab. Due to agricultural base and special affinity for the people, the Centre had increased the minimum support price for several crops, he said.

The Union Minister said the Central Government was implementing highly effective welfare schemes aimed at uplifting all sections of society. All state governments should ensure implementation of welfare schemes in the right perspective, added Meghwal.

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).
