Chandigarh, June 16

Former Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal will appear before a Special Investigation Team (SIT) investigating the Kotkapura police firing case at his Chandigarh residence at 10.30 am on June 22.

The SIT had rescheduled his questioning after Badal expressed inability to appear before the panel on June 16 at a rest house in Mohali. Citing ill-health and his age, besides provisions of law in questioning a witness, Badal asked the SIT to visit his Chandigarh house.

“Still not in good health, Mr Badal however is keen to fulfill his legal & constitutional duties as a law abiding citizen of the country,” said Harcharan Bains, Principal Advisor to SAD President Sukhbir Singh Badal.

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).
