Akal Takht officiating Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh today said an attempt was being made by the government to overpower the management of the SGPC.

The jathedar said on the lines of Takht Hazur Sahib, the government, through its agencies, intended to put the SGPC under a ‘board’ to get its control. Tactics were being adopted to take control of Takht Patna Sahib too, he said. Referring to another issue pertaining to some non-Sikh members wearing ‘kirpan’ in Kurukshetra, the jathedar sought the intervention of the Haryana Government. — 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).
