The government on Thursday said it would pursue an extradition request with Canada for Arsh Singh Gill, alias Arsh Dalla, the de-facto chief of the Khalistan Tiger Force, following his arrest in that country. Dalla was designated in India as a terrorist in 2023.

In July 2023, India had requested the Canadian government for his provisional arrest, but it was declined. “In view of the recent arrest, our agencies will be following up on an extradition request,” MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal 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).
