CHANDIGARH, June 4

A Twitter war “erupted” between Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and his political rivals Navjot Singh Sidhu, Partap Bajwa and Bikram Singh Majithia after the former hit out at them in a chaste Punjabi poetic style for supporting Barjinder Singh Hamdard. The latter followed suit, hitting him in the same tone and similar poetic style.

After the Opposition leaders had exhibited a rare unity by standing behind Hamdard of the Ajit group in his tussle with the AAP government, Mann today put out a tweet wherein he took out historical references of the “politically sensitive” issues that had drawn public ire against his political opponent.

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).
