Malerkotla, December 30

Organisations fighting for rights of farmers of the border state have condemned the Union Government for allegedly exploiting the SYL Construction issue for harnessing political mileage during every election.

CPIM General Secretary and Vice President All India Kissan Sabha Sukhwinder Singh Sekhon said it was no way justified for the Union Government to insist on construction of SYL Canal just to harness political mileage in Haryana.

State President Bharti Kissan Union (Ugrahan) Joginder Singh Ugrahan argued that SYL should never be an issue as it is a “hypothetical proposition.”

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).
