Amritsar, February 19

The Sikh Coordination Committee East Coast (SCCEC) and American Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (AGPC) have come out in support of farmers’ protest in India. During a convention held at Gurdwara Dashmesh Darbar, Carteret, New Jersey, the Sikh organisations ask the Indian Government to pass an ordinance to legalise MSP to cover all input costs, in addition to 50 per cent overhead premium for 23 crops.

The other resolutions adopted unanimously included dismissal of the Union Minister, whose son was accused of running his car over farmers in Uttar Pradesh’s Lakhimpur Kheri district in October 2021 and withdrawal of all criminal cases against the farmers in Lakhimpur incident.

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).
