Chandigarh, April 3

The state of Punjab today told the Punjab and Haryana High Court that Harjit Singh, alias Chacha, had not been illegally and wrongfully detained.

As a habeas corpus petition came up for hearing before Justice Anil Kshetarpal, an affidavit by the Amritsar (Rural) SP said Harjit was a close associate of pro-Khalistan activist Amritpal Singh.

It was submitted that he had been supporting Amritpal in professing radical ideology and raising the demand of secession of Punjab from India by violent means.

He had also been supporting Amritpal actively instigating, provoking and conspiring to wage a war against the state for a separate nation.

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).
