Patiala, September 1

Leaders of the Youth Akali Dal (YAD) today burnt an effigy of Harish Rawat, the Congress in-charge for Punjab affairs, in the city over his ‘Panj Pyare’ remark.

The protest was led by YAD national spokesperson Amit Singh Rathi, and Youth Akali Dal (Rural) president Satwinder Singh Satta. Rathi said Guru Gobind Singh formed ‘Panj Piyaras’ (five beloved ones) at Anandpur Sahib. “Rawat has hurt sentiments of Sikhs by comparing the panj pyaras with working presidents of Navjot Sidhu. A case for outraging religious sentiments should be registered against Rawat.” — TNS

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).
