A youth has apologised for making threatening comments on his Facebook page against Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihotri and Congress MLA Rakesh Kalia.

An FIR was lodged against the youth in Haroli, Una, on the complaint of a local resident for issuing a death threat against the two leaders on his Facebook page on Thursday night. “I apologise to Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihotri and Rakesh Kalia. I had made some wrong comments against the two on my Facebook page. I apologise for it, and won’t do it again,” he posted on Facebook through a handle called Sharp Shooter Nabhi Wala. The police, though, has already filed an FIR against him.

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).
