Chandigarh, May 5

Terming the Patiala clash as a deep-rooted conspiracy to spoil peace and communal harmony in Punjab, the SAD today demanded a CBI probe into the incident.

A SAD delegation, led by party chief Sukhbir Badal, met Governor BL Purohit at Raj Bhawan and urged him to direct the state to annul the “unconstitutional agreement” with the Delhi Government, under which it has handed over all its powers to the latter.

It asked Purohit to seek legal counsel and take appropriate action against CM Bhagwant Mann and his Council of Ministers for violating the oath of secrecy by signing away the control of the state to the Delhi Government. The delegation urged the Governor to direct the Punjab Government not to allow the Delhi Government to interfere in its internal affairs.

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).
