Chandigarh, July 24

A delegation of the Aam Aadmi Party led by Leader of Opposition Sukhpal Khaira called on Vidhan Sabha Speaker Rana KP Singh here on Tuesday over the issue of denial of entry to Canada to two AAP MLAs — Kultar Singh Sandhwan and Amarjit Singh Sandoa.

A spokesperson for the AAP legislative party said the Speaker said he would write to the External Affairs Minister to take up the matter with the Canadian Government.

The Speaker said the Canadian Government should respect public representatives, adding that this episode was unfortunate and condemnable. Sandhwan and Sandoa were also present during the meeting with the Speaker.

THE TRIBUNE, India’s oldest, daily English-language newspaper, was first published on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan), and save for 40 days in the immediate aftermath of Partition, has come out every day over the last 145 years. THE TRIBUNE was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist of the time. The newspaper is run by a five-member Trust, which is chaired by Shri N N Vohra, former Governor of J&K State (2008-2018); as well as Justice S S Sodhi, former Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court; Shri Gurbachan Jagat, former Governor of Manipur; Lt Gen. Shamsher Singh Mehta, former Western Army Commander; Shri Paramjit Singh Patwalia, Senior Advocate in the Supreme Court.

THE TRIBUNE is free, objective, and independent. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language, are the hallmarks of the paper.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
