Amritsar, November 4

Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Raghbir Singh has demanded that the Centre should pass a resolution condemning the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.

Addressing mediapersons here on Saturday, he said it was disappointing that other countries were bringing resolutions condemning the massacre but the culprits of the riots have not been punished in India even after 39 years.

He added that the use of voter lists to mark the houses of Sikhs for mass killings in November 1984 and the silence of police during the violence were clear evidences of Sikh genocide. The Jathedar said the killers of Sikhs were still roaming freely and the victims were leaving this world while fighting for justice in the courts.

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).
