Patiala, June 17

Congress MLA from Bholath Sukhpal Singh Khaira met former PCC chief Navjot Singh Sidhu at the Patiala Central Jail on Friday.

After the meeting, Khaira said the government should remit Sidhu’s one-year sentence. “The government should pass an order to remit the terms of all prisoners who had been lodged under Section 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) of the Indian Penal Code,” he said. “Of the 26,000 inmates in Punjab, there may be a handful serving jail term under this section,” he said.

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).
