Muktsar, November 6

Amid the ongoing controversy over the election of new Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) chief, Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal today met nearly 30 SGPC members (belonging to Malwa) at his residence in Badal village.

Notably, the SAD has again fielded the sitting SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami for the top post while suspended SAD leader-cum-former Sikh body chief Bibi Jagir Kaur has also decided to contest the poll.

“A majority of the SGPC members are supporting the party’s decision and candidature of Harjinder Singh Dhami. The presence of a large number of the SGPC members in today’s meeting has given a clear message to those playing into the hands of other parties,” said a SAD leader.

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).
