Amritsar, September 1

On the basis of a complaint submitted by the SGPC, the Amritsar police too have registered an FIR against the actor, directors and producer of the upcoming Punjabi film ‘Yaariyan-2’ for allegedly hurting sentiments of Sikh community.

ASI Lakhwinder Singh said actor Meezaan Jafri, directors Vinay Sapru and Radhika Rao, and producer Bhushan Kumar of T-Series had been booked under Section 295-Aof the IPC.

SGPC secretary Partap Singh said the committee had lodged a written complaint with the Amritsar Police Commissioner regarding the disrespect to Sikh principles, ‘maryada’ (conduct) and lifestyle by showing a non-Sikh clean-shaven actor in the movie ‘Yaariyan 2’ wearing Gatra Kirpan.

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).
