Amritsar, September 19

The protest by various Sikh organisations, including Satkar Committee, seeking criminal proceedings against SGPC officials, who were involved in the misappropriation of 328 “saroops” of Guru Granth Sahib, entered the sixth day today.

Balbir Singh, head of Satkar Committee, expressing displeasure over the punishment pronounced by Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh yesterday, said it was only religious punishment that was “too little, too late”. The protesters got a shot in the arm today when members of the Democratic Akali Dal joined the stir. — 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).
