New Delhi, May 16

The CBI, which is probing post-poll violence in West Bengal, has issued summons to TMC MLA Paresh Pal in connection with the murder of BJP activist Abhijit Sarkar, officials said today.

The MLA has been asked to appear before CBI sleuths at the probe agency’s Kolkata office on Wednesday. The Sarkar’s family had alleged that Pal was responsible for the murder.

The BJP activist was killed in Kankurgachi area on May 2 last year after results of the West Bengal Assembly elections were announced.

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).
