Sessions on Sufism were held on the second day of the 34th World Punjabi Conference in Lahore.

The speakers emphasised that the tolerance and openness to ideas in the Punjab region was the gift of the Sufis. Speakers, including author Khaled Hussain and Jang Bahadur Goyal, said apart from compositions by the Sikh Gurus, Guru Granth Sahib also contained the hymns of Baba Sheikh Farid, Bhagats and Bhats, exhibiting the openness of the region.

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).
