Amritsar: Dhyan Singh Mand, parallel officiating Jathedar of the Akal Takht lodged a complaint against Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday for hurting the Sikh sentiments. Mand was here with his supporters. He said the PM had attempted to describe the Sikh community as part of Hindus and expressed it from public dais during the Ram Mandir foundation ceremony at Ayodhya.

“The PM had mentioned in his speech that Ramayan was authored by Guru Gobind Singh, which is factually wrong and has hurt the Sikh sentiments,” he said. Mand said the Sikh Sangat, including the preachers, organisations, local gurdwara managements and individuals from all over the globe had also been directed to lodge a similar complaint in their respective police stations.

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).
