Ludhiana, November 2

Volunteers of Students’ Organisation of India (SOI), a wing of Shiromani Akali Dal, staged a protest against AAP MP Bhagwant Mann and burnt his effigy outside the Mini Secretariat today. Volunteers also raised slogans against Mann.

SOI zonal president Meetpal Singh Dugri, while demanding strict action against Mann, said SOI would not allow Mann to enter Ludhiana in protest against his act of attending a religious function allegedly in an inebriated state.

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).
