New Delhi, September 1

Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva on Sunday visited Gurdwara Pul Bangash following the registration of a case against former Cabinet Minister Jagdish Tytler for his alleged role in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. Sachdeva attributed this to PM Narendra Modi’s resolve to deliver justice to the Sikh community.

“In 1984, Congress-linked rioters killed three Sikhs, injured many and desecrated Gurdwara Sahib. For 40 years, local Sikhs who witnessed the riots incited by then minister Jagdish Tytler demanded a case to be filed against him, but the Congress protected him,” Sachdeva remarked.

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).
