Chandigarh, June 20

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

The SIT had rescheduled the questioning after Badal expressed inability to appear before the panel at a rest house in Mohali on June 16. 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, Badal, however, is keen to fulfil his legal and constitutional duties as a law abiding citizen of the country,” said Harcharan Bains, principal political adviser to the SAD. — 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).
