Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Friday sought severe action against the Air India employees who allegedly misbehaved with former Jathedar of Akal Takht Giani Raghbir Singh.

In a statement, the CM said the incident was highly condemnable. He said this sort of irresponsible behaviour by the Air India authorities was unwarranted and undesirable.

Mann said Giani Raghbir Singh was a respected personality and this sort of mistreatment with him could not be tolerated.

The CM said the unfortunate incident had bruised the psyche of every Sikh and hurt their sentiments. He urged the Centre to take exemplary action against the erring employees of the airline so that it acted as a deterrent for others.

Giani Raghbir was slated to board a flight to the US from Delhi on Friday night.

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).
