Abohar, May 15

Bhagat Singh Memorial Foundation, Pakistan, celebrated the 117th birthday of Bhagat Singh’s comrade Sukhdev Thapar on Wednesday at the Democratic Lawn of Lahore High Court Bar.

Imtiaz Rasheed Qureshi, chairman of the Bhagat Singh Memorial Foundation, has his roots in Abohar. His family had migrated to Lahore in August 1947.

Qureshi said that Thapar’s name surfaced in the Saunders murder case (Lahore conspiracy case) when he was 23-year-old. He along with Bhagat Singh and Rajguru were hanged on March 23, 1931, in Lahore.

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).
