Chandigarh, March 17

SAD patriarch Parkash Singh Badal has surrendered his pension as an ex-MLA to the Punjab government.

In a tweet addressed to the Punjab government and Assembly Speaker, the SAD patriarch says whatever pension accrues to him as an ex-MLA should be spent on public welfare and in no case should be sent to him. A formal request in this regard is being sent separately, he added.

He has remained the Punjab CM for five terms.

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).
