Ambala, July 5

A couple of days after the BKU (Charuni) expelled farmer leader Jai Singh and his son Navdeep over allegations of misappropriation of funds and indiscipline, the union has withdrawn the fund misuse charge.

The father-son duo was accused of misappropriating Rs 25,000 and IT equipment worth around Rs 3 lakh.

BKU (Charuni) chief Gurnam Singh said, “Initially, Jai Singh had failed to give a satisfactory reply before the committee, but later he provide all details. It has been found that there was no misappropriation of funds. Having said that, Jai Singh and his son will continue to remain expelled from the union because of indiscipline.” — TNS

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).
