Amritsar, June 10

Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Managing Committee (DSGMC) ex-president and SAD (Delhi) chief Paramjit Singh Sarna has appealed to PM Narendra Modi to acknowledge the SGPC’s letter sent a fortnight ago regarding the premature release of Sikh political prisoners (‘Bandi Singhs’).

“It’s unfortunate a letter written by the SGPC chief seeking an appointment with the PM has gone unnoticed despite the fact that the subject-matter was sensitive and was being taken up by various Panthic leaders under a Joint Action Committee formed on the directions of the Akal Takht. The indefinite imprisonment of a number of Sikh prisoners is a grave violation of national and international laws and human rights.”

Sarna has urged the PM to spare time so that the process could be initiated for release of Sikh prisoners languishing in jails even after completion of their sentence.

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).
