Chandigarh, May 8

In an unusual display of bonhomie, the Punjab Youth Congress has appreciated a tweet by SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal to put politics on hold during the fight against Covid-19.

Badal had tweeted: “I earnestly request everyone, in and outside our party, to put politics on hold at this critical hour & focus on saving fellow human beings. There is no Congress, no SAD, or AAP, BJP or Communist at this time. There are just fellow human beings.”

The Youth Congress welcomed the tweet, saying: “We have a huge difference of opinion on the lines of ideology with you, but this statement is the need of hour. We appreciate your concern sir, hope you will follow this in true spirit. We all are in this together. Each one, save one.”

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).
