The SGPC on Saturday unanimously resolved not to allow the screening of Kangana Ranaut-starrer “Emergency” in Punjab for its alleged character assassination of Sikhs.

SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami said the executive body had asked the Bhagwant Mann-led state government to ban its screening “for the sake of communal harmony”. Dhami claimed the movie portrayed the Sikh community and its leaders in a bad light, which could not be tolerated.

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).
