Bathinda, October 23

Former Punjab finance minister Manpreet Badal failed to appear before the Vigilance Bureau here on Monday.

His lawyer, SS Bhinder, handed over Badal’s passport to the VB’s Bathinda office.

His lawyer also submitted Badal’s medical certificate and sought exemption in his personal appearance due to backache for the past 10 days.

The VB had issued summons to Badal asking him to appear before it at 10 am on Monday and join the investigation.

Badal had got interim bail from the Punjab and Haryana High Court a few days back.

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).
