SGPC members Amrik Singh Shahpur, Bibi Kiranjot Kaur and Harjap Singh have slammed SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami for politicising the centenary celebrations of Guru Tegh Bahadur.

In a press release, the SGPC members stated that they had arranged gurmat programmes in 26 gurdwaras of Dera Baba Nanak. The SGPC’s Dharam Prachar Committee arranged for the ragi, dhadi and kavishri jathas. But a day before the programme, their duty was cancelled, citing that they would be pressed in for the centenary programmes.

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).
