Jalandhar, June 11

Having earlier summoned him on May 29, the Punjab Vigilance Bureau has summoned Managing Editor of the Ajit Group of Publications Barjinder Singh Hamdard once again on June 16.

Hamdard has been handed over a 17-point questionnaire in connection with allegations of fund misuse in the construction of Jang-e-Azadi Memorial at Kartarpur. The Padma Bhushan awardee had earlier sought time from the VB and had not appeared on May 29.

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).
