Ajnala, April 1

SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Thursday alleged the Centre, in connivance with the AAP government, tried to prevent the SAD from contesting the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) election, but they failed.

Sukhbir was here to pay obeisance at the Golden Temple after recovering from Covid. He later addressed a ‘Punjab Mangda Jawab’ rally in Ajnala.

The Delhi gurdwara elections department had held the party ineligible to contest the April 25 DSGMC election as it had failed to give an undertaking that it’s a religious party and the symbol ‘bucket’ was frozen pending litigation. However, the SAD challenged it in the Delhi High Court and got relief as the court stayed the order. — 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).
