SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami today appeared before the Punjab State Women’s Commission and apologised for his remarks against SAD leader Bibi Jagir Kaur recently.

Commission Chairperson Raj Lalli Gill said Dhami’s advocate had filed a letter and he came here to meet me and regretted his remarks. “I seek an apology for my remark against Bibi Jagir Kaur and entire women section. In this context, I will abide by the orders of the commission,” the letter read.

Gill said she had spoken to Bibi Jagir Kaur earlier who had also expressed her displeasure over it.

“Mere apologising does not absolve him of the act,” Gill said, adding that she would discuss the reply furnished by Dhami with the commission and proceed further in the matter accordingly.

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).
