Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Saturday urged External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar to take up the issue of repatriation of more than 350 Punjabi youths, who were languishing in Malaysian jails, even after completion of their sentences.

The family members of the youths met Harsimrat at Badal village and told her that their kin were detained in Malaysia for staying illegally. They said travel agents took the youths to Malaysia on the pretext of providing them employment.

Harsimrat also had a word with the Indian High Commissioner in Malaysia and asked him to help the youths in every possible way. — TNS

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).
