Chandigarh, May 17

After Congress MLA Pargat Singh alleged he received a threatening call from Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh’s political adviser, another party leader, Technical Education Minister Charanjit Channi, who is part of a group demanding action against perpetrators in sacrilege and police firing cases has landed in trouble.

On Monday, the Punjab Women Commission issued a notice to the Chief Secretary seeking a status report within a week in a two-and-a-half years old case of alleged harassment of a women IAS officer involving Channi.

Though the commission has not lodged any complaint, it has taken cognisance of a report published in a vernacular newspaper.

Sources said the government was trying to isolate rebellion among ministers and MLAs by digging out their old cases.

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).
