Several radical Sikh organisations have opposed the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee's (SGPC) recommendation to the Akal Takht for the excommunication of Narain Singh Chaura from the Panth. The organisations have appealed to the Akal Takht to reject the SGPC's resolution.Chaura was involved in a foiled assassination attempt on former Deputy CM Sukhbir Singh Badal, who was seated at the entrance of the Golden Temple on December 4. Badal was undergoing a religious punishment known as 'tankhah' (religious penance) imposed by the Akal Takht. Following the incident, the SGPC passed a resolution during its executive body meeting, recommending Chaura's excommunication and submitting a memorandum to Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Raghbir Singh for further action.

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).
