SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami today said constant efforts were being made by the Centre and the state government to overpower the Sikh body. Addressing the congregation held on the occasion of the 104th foundation day of the SGPC at Manji Sahib Diwan Hall in Golden Temple complex, he said efforts were under way to subvert the existence of the SGPC.

“After indirectly taking over the management of Takht Patna Sahib, Takht Hazur Sahib, Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee and Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee, now their intention is to grab the management of the SGPC,” he said. “The SGPC is a sort of ‘separate state within a state’. This is the reason it rankles in the eyes of the governments,” he said.

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).
