Chandigarh, May 17

The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) today asked Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh to “go after the big fish, including four Congress legislators, whose names have surfaced in bootlegging on a large scale and not indulge in a cover-up exercise by targeting SHOs instead of distillery owners responsible for Rs 5,600 crore illicit liquor scam”.

Senior SAD leader Prem Singh Chandumajra alleged that the CM, instead of taking action against own party leaders, had given directions to act against bootleggers.

“We demand a High Court-monitored probe by a sitting judge as well as a Vidhan Sabha committee to look into the running of illegal distilleries,” he said.

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).
