Punjab Congress president Amrinder Singh Raja Warring on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on the AAP government, accusing it of betraying the trust of over six lakh government employees and pensioners in the state.

Warring said the government had failed to pay arrears pending since 2021, leaving countless families in distress.

“It is shameful that AAP needed an HC order to acknowledge its responsibility towards employees and pensioners. Their affidavit, promising to clear arrears worth nearly Rs 14,000 crore by 2029-30, is nothing short of a cruel joke,” he said.

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).
