Harcharan Singh Dhammu, president, Guru RamDas Singh Sabha, who is contesting election from Ward 23 for the Haryana Gurudwara Management Committee (HSGMC) on the ticket of the Shiromani Akali Dal (Azaad), said income from the gurdwaras in Haryana would be spent on the development of gurdwaras and for the people in Haryana, not in Punjab.

Dhammu was interacting with media in Model Town here on Saturday. He said the Sikh community of Haryana had sacrificed so much for a separate gurdwara management committee and protested for a long time.

He further alleged that Punjab had always discriminated against Haryana’s development by collecting money from Haryana’s gurdwaras, but never did any work for the uplift of the Sikhs here. It never opened any institute, school or college for the education of Haryana’s youths, he added.

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).
