Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh’s uncle Harjit Singh, who was shifted to the AIIMS here from the Bathinda jail, was discharged from the hospital within 90 minutes after he “refused treatment”.

Harjit Singh had reportedly been on a hunger strike for the past a few days. He was admitted to the hospital on Saturday night. Harjit (54) has been demanding a physical meeting with visitors instead of communicating them via telephone from behind a glass wall. He has also been demanding the right to speak with his family in Canada over the phone.

His counsel Harpal Singh Khara said, “Urine infection was detected. But when he refused to undergo treatment until his demands were met, he was discharged after spending nearly one-and-a-half hours at the hospital.”

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).
