Alleging vendetta in lodging FIR against ex-minister Bikram Singh Majithia, the leaders of the district unit of Shiromani Akali Dal on Friday lodged a protest outside the office of the Deputy Commissioner and burnt the effigy of the state government.

The party workers were led by MLAs Gurpartap Wadala, Baldev Khaira and Pawan Tinu, SGPC member Kulwant Singh Mannan and ex-MLA Jagbir Brar.

The leaders said false case had been lodged against Majithia that, too, by changing three DGPs in three months.

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).
