Jalandhar, June 7

BJP state general secretary Jivan Gupta on Tuesday said Akal Takht chief Giani Harpreet Singh should have avoided comment on imparting training in modern weapons to Sikhs.

Gupta, addressing mediapersons to highlight BJP’s achievements in the past eight year, said: “Giani Harpreet Singh holds the top position in the Sikh community. He should have avoided the call for training in modern weapons citing law and order issues. The situation is far from reaching that point.”

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).
