Amritsar, December 24

The district unit of Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) hailed party president Simarnjit Singh Mann for his blunt voice in Parliament for Bandi Sikhs. A meeting of the party wing, led by general secretary Harpal Singh Blair, was held in Tarn Tarn on Saturday.

The leaders of the party appreciated Simranjit Singh Mann for raising the issue of Sikh political prisoners. Harpal Singh Blair stated that if the killers of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi could be released after completing their sentence why the Sikh prisoners were not being released. They had been in jails for the last 30 years and the government should immediately release them.

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).
