Sukhpal Khaira, Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA), today reiterated his demand for the immediate introduction of his Private Member Bill, which has been pending in the Punjab Vidhan Sabha since January 2023. Khaira urged Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and Speaker Kultar Sandhwan to take urgent steps to present the Bill before the House.

Khaira’s proposed legislation aims to safeguard the rights of Punjabis by enacting legal protections similar to those in Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and several other states. The Bill seeks to prevent non-domiciles from owning land, voting, or securing government employment in Punjab.

Khaira stated, “History will not forgive those who compromise the rights of Punjabis in their own state. Every elected representative has a duty to safeguard Punjab’s future. Any hesitation in this regard will be seen as betrayal.”

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).
