New Delhi, June 8

The Sikh Forum, an organisation based in New Delhi, has demanded that the Centre appoint a “truth and reconciliation commission” to record incidences of violence against the innocent during the 1980s.

“Such recording of crimes against the innocent and recognising the failure of the police and the judicial system may help make sure that such acts never recur,” said a resolution passed by the forum following a meeting to mark 37 years of Operation Bluestar.

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).
