Chandigarh, March 5

Technology giants like Apple and Google too joined the list of entities which have limited their business in Russia, amid unprecedented invasion in Ukraine. In retaliation of the move, Russian nationals have also started booing the acclaimed brands. A video of a Russian man smashing his Apple iPad with hammer has surfaced on social media.

In this 30 second video, the man can be seen bending on knees and giving repeated knocks on the iPad. He can also be seen getting his son to deliver a few blows.

“That’s our response to your sanctions. We don’t need your petty modern things, we can survive without them. Here, son, finish it off. I cut myself a little, but that’s OK, we’ll survive.”, said the man.

The video of the action was shared by BBC employee Francis Scarr on his Twitter.

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).
