Former SAD minister Sucha Singh Langah has again pleaded before Akal Takht officiating Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh for pardon.

Langah was excommunicated by Akal Takht on October 5, 2017, after a video allegedly showing him in a compromising position with a woman, went viral. The woman had accused him of sexually exploiting her. However, he was later acquitted by the court as the complainant withdrew the charges.

Langah claimed for the past 101 days, he had been attending Golden Temple prayers seeking an apology for his mistakes. “Whatever religious punishment the Akal Takht Jathedar will award, it will be acceptable to me,” he said. — TNS

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).
