Karnal, March 15

Scores of followers of Guru Ravidas and Saint Kabir today protested at the Mini Secretariat here, alleging that Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh had hurt their religious sentiments.

They alleged the dera chief had defamed Saint Ravidas and Saint Kabir. The protesters alleged that in a video, the dera chief could be heard saying controversial words about the saints. They handed over a memorandum to the district authorities, demanding action against the dera chief.

The protesters demanded that the government should not allow him to come out of jail.

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).
