Chandigarh, June 13

Former Punjab CM Parkash Singh Badal is unlikely to appear before the SIT, probing the Kotkapura police firing case, on June 16 due to his “ill health”.

SAD spokesperson Daljeet Singh Cheema said the former CM was indisposed. “He visited AIIMS-Bathinda twice recently due to chest congestion. He has been advised rest. He may not be able to appear before the probe panel on June 16.”

He claimed Badal was yet to receive summons. “Besides, under Section 160 CrPc, the police should visit senior citizens for questioning instead of summoning them to police station or any other place,” he said.

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).
