Ropar, November 30

Congress leader and former Speaker of Punjab Assembly Rana KP Singh said the Central Government should clarify its stand on ‘Bandi Singhs’ and those who have completed their sentence must be released immediately.

The former Speaker, while interacting with mediapersons at Rupnagar today, claimed that delay in resolving this and the issues relating to 1984 anti-Sikh riots, river waters dispute and Punjab’s claim on Chandigarh could generate the feeling of discrimination among masses in the state, Rana added. Blaming all political parties for the delay in resolving these issues, Rana said everyone tried to take political mileage out of these issues for a long time but no serious efforts were made to solve them.

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).
