Bathinda, July 16

Accusing the CBI of meddling into the sacrilege probe with political intentions, three Sikh bodies have decided to stage a protest against the agency’s attempt to “block the investigation in an attempt to protect main culprits”.

Leaders of SAD (Amritsar), United Akali Dal and the Dal Khalsa today announced a protest at Bargari on Friday in this regard.

The SIT was progressing gradually and now when the probe panel was moving closer to arrest the main culprit, Gurmeet Ram Rahim, the CBI asked the court to halt the proceedings, they claimed. — TNS

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).
