Chandigarh, March 19

Micro-blogging site Twitter has “withheld” account of Simranjit Singh Mann, president, Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) and Sangrur MP.

The micro-blogging site has stated that the account had been withheld in India in response to legal demand. It could not be ascertained whether the account had been withheld on demand of Central agencies or Punjab Police.

Incidentally, the Punjab Police are conducting statewide raids to nab pro-Khalistan activist Amritpal Singh. On March 18, Mann was reportedly heard telling mediapersons that action against Amritpal and his aides was at behest of the Centre and CM Bhagwant Mann-led government was acting on behalf of the Centre.

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).
