Fatehgarh Sahib, December 19

Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh has condemned the “sacrilege” attempt at the Golden Temple and sought a thorough investigation to expose the forces responsible for these acts.

After paying obeisance at the Fatehgarh Sahib Gurdwara, he said such incidents were being perpetrated during the election period to tarnish the image of Punjab.

The jathedar said if the government failed to investigate, expose and punish the culprits, it could lead to a law and order problem. Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) general secretary Karnail Singh Panjoli also condemned the incidents. — OC

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).
