A Dharma Raksha Rally was organised by Punjab Bachao Morcha in Jalandhar today to raise public awareness about alleged illegal religious conversions carried out through fraud, enticement or coercion.

Hundreds of representatives from Sikh, Hindu and Christian organisations across Punjab participated, voicing concerns over what they termed unlawful conversion practices. A memorandum highlighting various alleged illegalities was submitted to police officials, seeking strict action.

Senior police officers present at the rally assured prompt and firm action against self-styled godmen accused of performing “magic miracles” to lure people into changing their religion.

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).
