Amritsar, November 8

Several leaders led by rebel Rajya Sabha MP and SAD (Democratic) head Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa today gave a clarion call to boycott the SAD (Badal) leadership under whose tenure sacrilege and disappearance of ‘saroops’ of Guru Granth Sahib took place.

Dhindsa, along with his supporters and other Sikh outfits, organised a ‘pashchatap path’ (prayers for remorse) to express repentance over the misappropriation of ‘saroops’ at Gurdwara Attari Sahib in Sultanwind. Launching an attack on the SAD, he said the SGPC was being misused by the Badal family for political gains. “Earlier, sacrilege incidents occurred and now, 328 ‘saroops’ have gone missing. How could such a bungling take place under the nose of the SGPC? Where and on whose instance were these ‘saroops’ issued?” he said. — 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).
