Jalandhar, June 17

Former Akal Takht Jathedar Ranjit Singh today said Giani Harpreet Singh had paid the price for seeking explanation from the Badals.

He said the Badals had destroyed the Sikh body by politicising it for personal gains and changed the Jathedars at their will.

He gave a call to free the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) from the control of Badals.

He claimed that SGPC head Hajinder Singh Dhami and the newly-appointed Jathedar had met SAD chief Sukhbir Badal a few days ago.

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).
