AAP chief spokesperson Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal on Sunday accused the BJP of conspiring to permanently detach Chandigarh from Punjab under the guise of a proposed 131st Amendment Bill.

He said AAP would wage a battle “from streets to Parliament” if any move was made to take Chandigarh away from Punjab, calling the step a direct assault on the federal structure and Punjab’s historical rights. “The aim of placing Chandigarh under the Article 240 is to permanently weaken Punjab’s claim over the Union Territory,” he alleged. While calling Chandigarh “the soul of Punjab”, Dhaliwal declared that AAP would never allow this “ploy” to succeed .

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).
