Chandigarh, October 20

PCC chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring today criticised the AAP government in Punjab for its alleged failure to purchase paddy from the state’s farmers, forcing them to sell it in Haryana. “This is an insult to our self-respect that Punjabi farmers have to sell their paddy in Haryana,” he said.

“This is indeed for the first time in 75 years that Punjabi farmers’have been forced to sell their crops in Haryana,” Warring taunted the government, while referring to its claims of having achieved in seven months what others could not in 70 years.

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).
