Punjabi singer Ranjit Bawa has questioned actor and BJP MP from Gurdaspur Sunny Deol over his silence on the farmers’ issue. “Sir, you are MP from Gurdaspur, @iamsunnydeol, you should do something for farmers, kam se kam kisan de haqq vich awaz maar do, tuhanu punjabia ne bahut hope naal MP banaya, me also from Gurdaspur, Majhe valeya jis nu vi jittaya mudke vadya e nahi, palo votan (sic),” Ranjit Bawa tweeted.

The singer has been speaking out for the farmers for the past few days. Meanwhile, several Punjabi singers such as Gurdas Mann, Malkit Singh, Jasbir Jassi, Pammi Bai and Harjit Harman have come out in support of the farmers.

While Malkit Singh urged the Centre to reconsider the farm Bills, Gurdas Mann posted: “Kisan hai ta Hindustan hai. Sarbat Da bhala hovey.” Singers Pammi Bai and Harjit Harman met the farmers at the protest sties.

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).
