After back-to-back cases of desecration, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) convened a special meeting of its executive here today and decided to send the matter to the Akal Takht.

The Sikh body termed the government move to register FIRs a ploy to politicise the matter ahead of the crucial Assembly election next year. On December 7, the Amritsar police had filed two separate cases against 18 SGPC officials and office-bearers in the matter of the “missing” 328 saroops of Guru Granth Sahib and publishing a Hindi book “Sikh Itihas”, which reportedly contains objectionable language about Sikh Gurus. The executive, held under president Harjinder Singh Dhami, termed it a direct challenge to the highest temporal seat of the Sikhs, Akal Takht, and an unwarranted interference in the administrative sphere of the Sikh body.

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).
