Amritsar, July 4

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Bikram Singh Majithia has appealed to rebel Akalis to show solidarity with the party.

Majithia said the majority of leaders in the party were united. “The SAD is Punjab’s regional party. Over 80-90 per cent of the Akali Dal is united. A handful of those who were being swayed away are advised not to fall prey to the nefarious designs of the opposition parties, whose motive is to weaken this regional party. I cannot term them as hostile as we have all worked together. I appeal to all of them to work together to strengthen the party.”

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).
