New Delhi, February 13

Ahead of his visit to poll-bound Punjab on Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday met the head of the influential Beas dera.

“Earlier today, I had the honour of meeting Baba Gurinder Singh Dhillon Ji of the Radha Soami Satsang Beas. The social service initiatives of the RSSB are commendable,” PM tweeted.

Beas dera is one of the six major deras with the potential to influence electoral patterns in the state, apart from Dera Sacha Sauda, Nurmahal Dera, Sant Nirankari Mission, Namdhari sect and Dera Sachkhand Ballan.

Radha Soami Satsang Beas is known to influence at least 19 Assembly segments in Punjab.

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).
