Dhami held a meeting with Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Raghbir Singh before appearing before the high priests, who asked him to  wash dishes at the 'langar hall' and clean the shoes of the devotees at the ‘jodha ghar’ for an hour each.

After compliance, Dhami recited the prayers and performed ‘ardas’.

An audio conversation had landed Dhami in trouble in which he is purportedly heard using derogatory words against Kaur.

Following this, Dhami had volunteered to approach the Akal Takht to tender an apology and had also apologised to Kaur.

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).
