Amritsar: SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami has demanded the intervention of the state government to stop the release of Dastaan-e-Sirhind film. Dhami claimed that in the film the Sahibzadas — sons of the 10th Sikh Guru — have been personified, which was against the Sikh tenets and principles. He said the SGPC had not given an NOC to the film.

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).
