Chandigarh, March 4

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Saturday said the opposition parties’ intention to get political dividends by fanning communal sentiments would never succeed.

In a statement, the CM said they are keeping a strict vigil on the events unfolding in the state.

He said it is shameful that in the absence of any real issue against the state government these political parties are stooping too low.

Mann claimed the opposition is playing with fire by trying to get political mileage by fanning communal sentiments in the state.

He said the nefarious designs of these parties would never succeed as Punjabis had always practised peace and brotherhood.

The Chief Minister said the state government is committed to preserving the hard-earned peace of the state. He assured the Punjabis that no one would be allowed to disturb peace in the state.

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).
