Mohali, November 18

An Enforcement Directorate (ED) court today remanded Congress leader Sukhpal Singh Khaira in judicial custody in the money laundering case. The next date of hearing has been fixed for December 2.

Khaira was produced in the court after completion of his seven-day ED remand. The ED demanded an additional seven-day remand, but the defence counsel opposed it, saying the agency had failed to get anything incrimination from Khaira and that there was no reason for an extension.

Khaira claimed a political conspiracy had been hatched against him to demoralise him. He claimed the BJP was already against him, but hidden elements in the Congress had now conspired to defame him, adding he would “expose” them at the right time.

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).
