SGPC president Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami has taken a strict notice of the construction of a pandal replicating the Golden Temple for Ganpati Utsav in Pune, and termed it as an act of inciting Sikh sentiments.

“According to the information received from the Pune Sikh sangat, this pandal has been built for Ganapati Pooja. This is against Sikh traditions. It is painful to know that the local management committee of Gurdwara Guru Nanak Darbar Camp Area was behind it,” he said. A team would be sent to Pune for investigation, he added.

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).
