Chandigarh, October 4

Days after Panj Pyaras declared Takht Patna Sahib Jathedar Giani Ranjit Singh ‘tankhaiya’ (guilty) over the alleged embezzlement of Rs 5 crore, the latter today said he had been wrongly charged.

Accused of embezzlement of donations in the form of gold and other items, the Jathedar said it was unfortunate that action was taken against him on the basis of a man, whose own credentials were in doubt. “False charges have been levelled against me.”

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).
