Amritsar, February 16

With three days for Punjab to go to polls, the Congress suffered a major jolt as Amritsar’s Mayor Karamjit Singh Rintu joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in presence of AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal and party’s CM face Bhagwant Mann.

Talking to The Tribune, Rintu said that he took this decision for ‘self-dignity’.

“When you feel like being ignored for your work and dedication for the party, then taking another course was the best option,” he said.

Rintu tweeted: “People of Punjab want to ‘sweep’ away misrule now. They want to welcome a prosperous future with @AamAadmiParty and I am all for it, as I conveyed the same to Shri @ArvindKejriwal ji.”

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).
