Amritsar, August 16

Akal Takht officiating Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh today said the governments of India and Pakistan should pass a condolence resolution in their respective Parliaments for those who died during the Partition and suffered the pain of displacement.

“While celebrating the 75 years of Independence, the governments of both countries should have remembered the victims, but they did not treat it as important,” he said, while addressing a congregation at Akal Takht to pay tribute to the Partition victims.

He said, “The visa policy should be liberalised so that people from both nations can freely visit their ancestral and holy places.” He also expressed concern over the “present situation” in Punjab.

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).
