Amritsar, June 26

Punjabi singer Preet Harpal approached the Akal Takht to tender an apology over the use of some “obnoxious” words in one of his songs related to Covid.

After submitting a letter to the office of the Akal Takht Secretariat, he said he inadvertently included some objectionable words about a Guru in his song for which he was repentant and volunteered to accept the mistake. “The moment I realised it after seeing comments by some viewers, I deleted the song from the social media,” 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).
