Chandigarh, September 29

Slamming Bhagwant Mann-led AAP government for targeting political opponents, state BJP chief Sunil Jakhar today demanded a thorough probe into all the cases filed against opposition leaders in the last 18 months.

“AAP is trying to suppress the voice of the opposition leaders by targeting them with motivated cases,” said Jakhar, while responding to the arrest of Congress leader Sukhpal Singh Khaira in the 2015 NDPS case.

The timing of a case against BJP leader Manpreet Singh Badal coincided with the Governor raising serious questions on increasing debt under the AAP government, said Jakhar, adding that the Khaira’s arrest was a direct consequence of infighting in the Congress. He said if there was any semblance of collective leadership in the Congress today, it would have called off their alliance with AAP.

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).
