Amritsar, November 30

Former Vidhan Sabha Deputy Speaker Bir Devinder Singh has objected to the ‘tankhah’ (religious punishment) pronounced on former SAD minister Sucha Singh Langah, who was allegedly entangled in immoral activities.

Bir Devinder believed that this punishment with selective freedom has strategically paved the way for Langah to resume political activities with a caveat to debar him from taking part in the religious activities for five years.

“This paradoxical pronouncement made by the acting Jathedar after five high priests’ meeting was contrary to the century-old Sikh doctrine of ‘Miri’ (representing temporal power) and “Piri” “representing spiritual power”.

He is expected to tell the truth from the ramparts of Akal Takht and share with the Sikh community, if his pronouncement was influenced by vested political interests of the Badal family.

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).
