Former Deputy CM Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa has written to Akal Takht officiating Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh urging him to stop endorsing the Badal-led SAD and be a representative of the entire Sikh community.

The letter was in response to concern shown by Jathedar over SAD’s dismal performance in the recent polls. In his two-page letter, Randhawa reminded the Jathedar that he represented the entire Sikh community and should stop worrying about the Badals.

In the recent elections, people had given a befitting reply to the SAD, which had never refrained from taking the support of controversial Sirsa dera in the past and recently held elections too, thereby “disrespecting” the Panthic “rehat maryada” and principles. —

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).
