Amritsar, April 18

The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) organised ‘gurmat samagam’ in Hari Nagar, Delhi, dedicated to the 300th birth centenary of Sikh general Jassa Singh Ramgarhia.

Gurbani kirtan was performed by raagi jathas while group of dhadi (balladeer) shared the history of Jassa Singh Ramgarhia.

Head granthi Giani Jagtar Singh said the Sikh generals had fiercely opposed oppression. SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami said anti-Sikh forces had been conspiring to break the Sikh institution. He said boards were formed in place of committees at Takhts outside Punjab and the Sikh body had been weakened by forming a separate gurdwara panel for Haryana.

The SGPC had also set up book stalls, besides painting exhibitions related to the Sikh history and heritage.

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).
