Amritsar, December 3

Haryana Chief Minister ML Khattar has rejected the allegation that his government played a role in the formation of the Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (HSGMC).

Talking to mediapersons outside the Golden Temple on Saturday, he said his government did not do anything beyond its constitutional duty. He said his government only implemented the directions of the Supreme Court. In its verdict on September 20, the apex court upheld the constitutional validity of the Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Act, 2014, after the HSGMC (ad hoc) won a legal battle after a struggle of eight years.

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).
