In an apparent hate crime, a gurdwara in California has been defaced with a swastika graffiti. Police officials took statements from the granthi (priest) of Guru Maneyo Granth gurdwara at Orangevale, California.

On Monday morning, people saw words “White Power” and a swastika graffitied on the sign out front. “I strongly condemn the racist graffiti spray painted at a Sikh house of worship in Orangevale,” Indian-American Congressman Dr Ami Bara said.

Sikh American Legal Defence and Education Fund, the oldest Sikh-American civil rights and advocacy group, condemned the hate speech that defaced the gurdwara. — PTI

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).
