Amritsar, August 12

The SGPC has decided to hold a protest against the non-release of Sikh political prisoners. They will hold protests in all districts. In the evening, the SAD leadership too decided to join the protest.

SGPC members and staff would wear black turbans and hand over memorandums to the DCs of various districts to register their protest. In Amritsar, a delegation of SGPC led by its chief Harjinder Singh Dhami would take out a march and submit a memorandum.

SAD spokesperson Daljit Singh Cheema said the SAD working committee had decided that its members would participate in the protest.

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).
