The executive committee (EC) of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) today took a serious note of the governments’ alleged undue interference in Sikh religious affairs.

The EC meeting, presided over by SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami, passed the resolution against the appointment of a non-Sikh as an administrator of the Gurdwara Board of Takht Sri Hazur Abchalnagar Sahib, Nanded.

The panel also opposed the efforts of National Commission for Minorities to “weaken” Sikh organisations.

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).
