Amritsar, December 5

After former Deputy Chief Minister OP Soni, the Vigilance Bureau (VB) has now summoned sitting Congress MLA Barindermeet Singh Pahra from Gurdaspur in connection with a complaint regarding disproportionate assets. He will appear before the VB tomorrow. Pahra was elected for a second time.

Varinder Singh, SSP (Vigilance), confirmed the development. He said the VB received a complaint against Pahra regarding amassing properties more than his known sources of income. He said they had demanded the details of his properties and bank accounts in this connection. He would appear on Tuesday.

Former Deputy Chief Minister OP Soni is also likely to appear before the VB tomorrow regarding a disproportionate assets case.

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).
