Amritsar, July 20

Frequent parole granted to controversial Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh has upset Akal Takht and the SGPC.

Akal Takht Jathedar Raghbir Singh said the one who was serving a sentence for rape and murder was again granted a 30-day parole today, whereas scores of Bandi Singhs (Sikh political prisoners) were still languishing behind the bars without relief. SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami too strongly objected to the repeated paroles.

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).
