Batala, May 25

Income Tax sleuths today raided houses of Batala Mayor Sukhdeep Singh Teja and seven others.

Barring Congress leader Teja, others have stakes in liquor business. Dera Baba Nanak MLA and Congress candidate for Gurdaspur parliamentary seat Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa termed the raids as “politically motivated”.

Liquor contractor Pappu Jayantipuria was also under the I-T scanner. LoP Partap Singh Bajwa and Amritsar MP Gurjit Singh Aujla reached Jayantipuria’s house after getting the news.

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).
