New Delhi, June 21

Even as India has dissociated itself from the plot to kill US-based Khalistani separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said the government was in touch with the family of Nikhil Gupta, who was recently extradited from Czech Republic to the US for his alleged involvement in the case.

“We have so far not received any request for consular access from Gupta, but his family has come in touch with us,” said MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal.

In response to another concerning Khalistani activity, Jaiswal criticised the Canadian Parliament observing “one minute silence” in the memory of separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was murdered in British Columbia a year ago.

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).
