Chandigarh, June 8

AAP’s newly elected Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament Vikramjit Singh Sahney has demanded that a Sikh should have been appointed as the MD and CEO of Punjab and Sind Bank.

The demand comes as the Centre has appointed Swarup Kumar Saha to the post. Sahney said the Government of India had agreed in April 1980, at the time of nationalisation of the bank, that the chairman-cum-managing director of Punjab and Sind Bank would be a Sikh.

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).
