Rohtak, May 24

Independent MLA from Meham Balraj Kundu on Tuesday called on Union Minister Sanjeev Balyan in Delhi and urged him to help get revoked the life ban imposed by the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) on wrestler Satendra Malik, allegedly for manhandling a referee during the Commonwealth Games trials.

Satyendra belongs to Mokhra village, which falls under the Meham segment.

“The ban on Satyendra is unjustified as it was just a reaction to an inappropriate action shown by the referee. His act was totally unintentional, hence I have requested the minister to talk to the WFI president for revoking the ban so that Satyendra can get justice and move forward in his career in wrestling,” said Kundu.

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).
