Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Sunday shared a picture of his father to mark the occasion of Father’s Day.

Singh posted a picture of his father and said that he had assisted refugees torn by Partition.

“My father Yadavindra Singh Ji assisted refugees torn by Partition & worked closely with Sardar Patel Ji for integration of princely states. He served in the Army and instilled in me the idea of Nation First always. I continue to work on the path shown by him. #FathersDay,” Singh said in a Tweet.

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).
