Chandigarh, March 8

SAD legislators today broke through police barriers, braved water cannons and courted arrest to protest the Congress government for betraying Punjabis and keeping the “real Opposition” out of the Vidhan Sabha during Budget presentation.

The MLAs marched towards the Assembly, raising ‘Manpreet, Captain murdabad’ and ‘Kisana da katil, Manpreet murdabad’ slogans before being stopped by the police.

The legislators, however, broke through the police barricading and marched ahead, but the police unleashed water cannons on them. They later courted arrest and were taken to the Sector 3 police station, where they held a ‘dharna’ against the government. — TNS

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).
