Chandigarh, July 6

The Punjab BJP on Tuesday issued a show-cause notice to its leader and former state minister Anil Joshi for “anti-party” activities.

Joshi has been asked to reply within two days on why a disciplinary action should not be taken against him, according to the notice.

The notice was issued by Punjab unit general secretary Subhash Sharma on the directions of state BJP chief Ashwani Sharma.

Sharma said Joshi has been making statements against the Union government, party’s central leadership and policies, which tantamount to “anti-party” activities.

Former Amritsar North MLA Anil Joshi had said it would be difficult for the BJP leaders to come out of their homes if the ongoing issue of the farmers’ agitation against the Centre’s three farm laws is not resolved soon. PTI

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).
