Advocate NK Jeet discussed in detail the cases of Sikh prisoners. He said raising voice for the human rights of prisoners should be a common goal of all democratic forces.

Sukhdev Singh Kokri Kalan, general secretary, BKU (Ekta Ugrahan) said prisoners of all castes and regions who had completed their sentences should be released.

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).
