Former Haryana minister Hari Singh Saini, who served as a minister in the Devi Lal government in 1987, died after a prolonged illness at a private hospital here yesterday. Saini, who was also a prominent Arya Samaj figure in the region, was 88.

According to close family members, he was cremated today. He was one of the prominent figures of Hisar’s politics when he joined the fray as an Independent in 1982. Later, he joined Devi Lal’s Lok Dal in 1984. Mukesh Saini, a close aide of the former minister, said except for his daughter-in-law Rekha Saini, none of his family members was active in politics.

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).
