Kaithal, March 16

A meeting of Sikh community members, led by the former president of the Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (HSGMC), Jagdish Singh Jhinda, was held here today to decide whether they will contest the Lok Sabha elections from any particular seat or extend support to a political party.

An 11-member committee has been constituted to take the call on it and will again assemble on Monday, thereafter community members will take the final call, he said.

Talking to The Tribune, Jhinda claimed that the community was ignored by all political parties, forcing them to hold a meeting. “The committee members will discuss the strategy and disclose it on Monday,” he said.

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).
