Chandigarh, October 3

The Congress today held a protest against the arrest of MLA and chairman of the All-India Kisan Congress Sukhpal Singh Khaira at the PPCC office here. They were stopped from marching towards the DGP’s office. The Bholath MLA had been arrested in connection with an eight-year-old case under the NDPS Act.

Terming the arrest a perfect example of vendetta politics, LoP Partap Singh Bajwa asked the AAP’s national convener and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal on why he gave a ticket to Khaira in 2017 and made him the LoP if he was a drug dealer? “Why has the police failed to arrest AIG Raj Jit Singh Hundal, who is allegedly involved in the drug trade in Punjab?” he asked.

PCC chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring said the party leaders expressed their resentment against the AAP leadership for their vindictive action against Khaira.

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).
