Chandigarh, July 15

Lashing out at the newly elected Sangrur MP and SAD (A) chief, Simranjit Singh Mann, for calling Shaheed Bhagat Singh a ‘terrorist’, Minister for Higher Education And Languages Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer today demanded an unconditional apology from him for his slanderous remarks.

Addressing a press conference here, he also announced that the state would bestow the status of martyr on Bhagat Singh.

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).
