Chandigarh, April 6

The SAD today demanded a judicial probe into the alleged AAP NRI fund collection scam, saying despite top functionaries being accused of embezzling hundreds of crores of rupees collected from NRIs, party convener Arvind Kejriwal was silent on the issue and had not even conducted an internal inquiry.

Asking Kejriwal to clarify whether he was linked to the scam, SAD treasurer NK Sharma said: “Your silence is mystifying. Either you are part of the scam or have been compromised by perpetrators. The truth can only be uncovered by a judicial inquiry. If you do not give your assent to a probe, it will be clear you too are party to looting NRIs in the name of working for their welfare.” — TNS

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).
