Chandigarh, June 7

The SAD today said there was “grave threat” to the life of former minister Bikram Singh Majithia and that there was likelihood he would be implicated in another false case at the behest of AGDP Harpreet Sidhu, who had been entrusted with the additional charge of ADGP (Prisons) to settle “political and personal scores”.

Addressing mediapersons here to highlight a letter written by Majithia’s wife and Majitha legislator Ganieve Kaur Majithia to the DGP — a copy of which had been sent to CM Bhagwant Mann — SAD leaders Maheshinder Singh Grewal and Daljit Singh Cheema demanded immediate removal of Sidhu from the additional charge of ADGP (Prisons).

They said there were apprehensions Sidhu had been given the posting to “plant” something on the former minister.

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).
