Amritsar, March 5

SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami on Tuesday welcomed the decision of Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa, president, SAD (Sanyukt), to merge his party with the Akali Dal led by Sukhbir Singh Badal.

Dhami appealed to other Akali-minded leaders that in view of Panthic politics and the current situation, they should also unite under one flag of SAD.

“I appeal to the entire Sikh and Punjabi community to strengthen their regional party, SAD, for the welfare of the state,” he said. He added that the tendency of people running the present government of the state was to “please their Delhi masters”. This, he added, was taking the region into deep crises, and only if Punjab’s own party, SAD, was strong, the interests of Punjab could be secured.

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).
