New Delhi, May 18

Randeep Singh Surjewala, general secretary of the Congress and MP (Rajya Sabha), today appealed to the Prime Minister to take note of the plight of the protesting women wrestlers, whom he once fondly called his daughters, and arrest Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. “Bajrang Punia, on whose shoulders the PM used to put his hand of support, is today yearning for justice,” he said.

Surjewala, who today went to meet the women wrestlers protesting at Jantar Mantar, also told reporters that instead of giving justice to the women wrestlers, they were being lathi-charged by the BJP government.

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).
