Amritsar, August 13

Amritsar MP Gurjeet Singh Aujla has written a letter to Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan seeking his intervention in the alleged harassment case of a Sikh girl in Pakistan.

He wrote that the Sikh girl, daughter of a gurdwara priest, was forcibly married to a Muslim youth after conversion. “Now, the Pakistan judiciary has also pronounced its verdict in favour of the Muslim youth. This incident has shaken me. I request you to resolve the issue in a fair manner or else I will be compelled to take up the issue on national and international forums so that speedy justice is ensured to the girl, who belongs to a minority community,” he said.

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).
