Chandigarh, June 1

Giani Ranjit Singh, Jathedar of Takht Sri Patna Sahib, has favoured keeping licensed weapons for self-defence. He made this statement in the backdrop of singer Sidhu Moosewala’s killing.

Claiming that he feared the days of bloodshed might return to Punjab, he appealed to all Punjabis, not just only Sikhs, to keep weapons for self-defence.

The officiating Akal Takht Jathedar, Giani Harpreet Singh, had recently urged Sikhs to possess licensed weapons.

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).
