Amritsar, February 5

The SGPC has sought the restoration of fellowship to students belonging to minorities to regain the trust of youngsters of these communities in the Union Government.

In a communique to Prime Minister Narendra Modi here on Saturday, SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami said the scholarships under the Maulana Azad National Fellowship and Pre-Matric Scholarship, discontinued last year, should be resumed at the earliest to restore students’ faith in the Central Government.

He said if the government’s working style towards the minorities remained indifferent, it would create a distrust.

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).
