Various Sikh unions staged a protest against Cabinet Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa in front of the District Administrative Complex here on Tuesday.

They burned an effigy of the Cabinet minister on the occasion.

Members of the Sikh unions handed over a memorandum Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Gurmeet Singh on Tuesday.

The unions demanded the registration of a case under Section 295-A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) against the Cabinet minister.

“A video of the Cabinet minister has gone viral in which he has hurt the sentiments of the Sikhs. The police should register a case against him,” said the union members.

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).
