The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) has strongly objected to the repeated paroles being granted to controversial Sirsa dera head Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, who is serving a sentence on charges of murder and rape.

SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami alleged that the government was treating the dera chief with “special sympathy”. The dera chief, who is serving a 20-year jail term at Rohtak’s Sunaria jail after he was convicted in 2017 of raping two disciples, was granted a 50-day parole. “This is the seventh time in two years when he was given parole,” he said.

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).
