SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami finds himself embroiled in controversy after his derogatory remarks against Former SGPC chief Bibi Jagir Kaur went viral in a telephonic conversation. A group of women, including SGPC members Bibi Kiranjot Kaur and Bibi Paramjit Kaur Landran, today filed a complaint at the Akal Takht, demanding strict action and his removal from the post.

However, Dhami also received support from SAD (Delhi unit) president Paramjit Singh Sarna, and SGPC members Rajinder Singh Mehta, Bhagwant Singh Sialka and Surjit Singh Bhittewad, who defended him, claiming the matter was being politicised. They emphasised that Dhami had promptly realised his mistake and had issued public apologies to Akal Takht, Punjab State Women Commission, and Bibi Jagir 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).
