Gurdaspur, January 4

Qadian MLA Fateh Jung Singh Bajwa has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to immediately release Sikh prisoners languishing in jails since 1984.

“These people have already completed their sentences. It will be in the fitness of things if they are released. Their number is pegged at 23. They were jailed for their role in the Operation Bluestar. Previous governments have paid no heed to their release,” said Bajwa in his letter to the PM. — 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).
