Amritsar, May 24

Congress MLA Navjot Singh Sidhu today announced that he would put up black flags atop both his houses in Amritsar and Patiala tomorrow in support of the farmers’ struggle.

Today, on his Twitter account, Sidhu posted: “Will hoist black flag in support of #farmersprotest at both my houses (Amritsar & Patiala) at 9.30 am tomorrow. Request everyone to do the same, until we get the black laws repealed or provide an alternative method of assured MSP and procurement through the state government.”

He also posted picture of a protest against the laws. The protest was staged by him at Bhandari Bridge in Amritsar.

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).
