Chandigarh, November 12

Taking a strong exception to the remarks made by Gurdaspur Member of Parliament Sunny Deol with regard to the farmers’ protest against the farm laws, Cabinet Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa today asked the filmstar-turned-politician to come out of the reel life to know the ground realities. He advised him to raise his ‘dhai kilo ka hath’ in favour of the beleaguered farmers.

Randhawa said it had been five months since farmers started their protest, but the BJP MP was toeing the line of the Central Government instead of venturing out in support of the farmers.

He alleged the MP had stabbed the people of his constituency, especially the farmers, labourers and arhtiyas, who had reposed faith in him by electing him. — 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).
