Former senior vice-president of SGPC Rajinder Singh Mehta and former general secretary Amarjit Singh Chawla expressed shock over the closed-door meeting held at the personal residence of Giani Harpreet Singh in Bathinda yesterday. Former minister, now with the ‘dissident’ Akali faction Surjit Singh Rakhra was also present at the nearly hour-long meeting.

Mehta said: “We failed to understand what prompted Giani Harpreet Singh to hold such meetings? And that too, at a time when he is suspended from his post. Despite ideological differences, why has this meeting been held and what could be its agenda? This needs to be understood,” he said.

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).
