Ludhiana, February 14

An unknown caller has threatened to kill Congress’ Ludhiana MP Ravneet Singh Bittu and local Congress leader Gursimran Singh Mand.

Mand told reporters on Friday that the caller gave the threat in a three-minute long call on Wednesday evening in which the person also used abusive language against late Chief Minister Beant Singh.

Beant Singh was assassinated in August 1995 and Bittu is his grandson.

Police has been informed about the threat call, Mand said.

Earlier as well, Bittu had been threatened by some radical elements after which his security had been strengthened. — PTI

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).
