Amritsar, September 21

Akal Takht officiating Jathedar Giani Hapreet Singh attending a three-day event organised to mark the ‘Jyoti Jot’ diwas of Guru Nanak at Gurdwara Darbar Sahib, Kartarpur in Pakistan can be termed as an ‘indirect endorsement’ of the original Nanakshahi calendar.

Giani Harpreet Singh, his family members and a raagi jatha crossed over to Pakistan to attend the event as per the “amended” version of the calendar, through Attari-Wagah joint check post. The same event will be observed on October 1 by the SGPC. — TNS

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).
