New Delhi, September 14

Former Rajya Sabha MP Tarlochan Singh on Wednesday wrote to former Union Home Minister P Chidambaram, reminding him of his questionable stand in Parliament that action could not be taken against superannuated police officers indicted by various commissions probing the Delhi anti-Sikh riots.

The trigger is the Delhi HC directive to the disciplinary authority last Monday to issue a fresh order of punishment against an SHO charged with abdication of duty and misconduct during the riots. Singh reminded Chidambaram that he as Home Minister had turned down a “call attention motion” in the Rajya Sabha seeking action against 17 police personnel found guilty by various commissions.

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).
