Chandigarh, October 30

The AAP has opposed the appointment of Jagdish Tytler, accused in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, as a permanent invitee of the Delhi Pradesh Congress. The AAP also lashed out at the Punjab Congress on the issue and asked Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi and state Congress president Navjot Singh Sidhu to clarify their stand on the issue.

In a joint statement, MLA Prof Baljinder Kaur and party spokesperson Manwinder Singh Giaspura told the Gandhi family to “stop rubbing salt into the wounds of 1984 massacre victims”.

BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh also asked Channi and Sidhu to clarify if they endorsed the Congress decision. He said Sidhu had himself confessed that he barely escaped the anti-Sikh riots in 1984 but today, he claimed to be a proud leader of the Congress. — TNS

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).
