The Chief Khalsa Diwan (CKD) has strongly opposed the Uniform Civil Code sought to be implemented by the Central government in the country. At a meeting held at the head-office of the CKD, its president Dr Inderbir Singh Nijjar, vice-president Jagjit Singh and other members in a joint statement said that in a vast and diverse country like India, a common civil code for different religions is bound to run into problems. Nijjer said that the existence of the Khalsa is unique and pure and in Sikhism only Bakhsiya Bani-Bana, teachings and traditions given by the holy Guru Granth Sahib can be applied. He said it was absolutely wrong to tamper with learned traditions, rich values, customs and culture by implementing Uniform Civil Code.

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).
