Officiating Jathedar of Akal Takht Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj has strongly condemned the terror attack in Pahalgam. Expressing grief, he extended condolences to the families of those killed in the incident. He prayed to the Akal Purakh to grant eternal peace to the departed souls and strength to the bereaved families to accept His will.

Gargaj said the tragic incident had reminded him of the March 2000 massacre at Chittisinghpura in Kashmir in which 35 Sikhs were killed and the truth was yet to come to light.

Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president Harjinder Singh Dhami said the act was inhuman and brutal. He said spiritual and humanitarian teachings did not promote such violence.

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).
