Chandigarh, September 2

Samyukt Kisan Morcha leader and national president of All India Kisan Federation Prem Singh Bhangu has strongly condemned the lathicharge and use of water cannons on peacefully protesting farmers at Moga. “The act of police is unconstitutional and undemocratic which the Supreme Court has already affirmed in recent cases,” he said.

The farmers assembled to ask questions to SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal during his Moga visit but were not allowed by the police. He said farmers were well within their right to ask Sukhbir that why his party supported the farm laws when they were enacted. He demanded strict action against the cops responsible for the lathicharge. Condemning the police action, BKU (Ekta) leader Sukhdev Singh Kokri said none of the political parties was serious in solving the farming sector issues. — 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.
