The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) has suffered a setback with its district urban president Gurpartap Singh Tikka today joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in New Delhi.

Notably, Tikka had submitted his resignation from the primary membership of SAD on September 11.

Along with him, former senior Deputy Mayor Ajaibirpal Singh Randhawa and former party general secretary Jaspal Singh Shantu too joined the saffron party in the presence of Gujarat’s former CM Vijay Rupani, Punjab BJP state president Sunil Jakhar, Punjab BJP national secretary Narendra Raina and BJP district president (Urban) Harwinder Singh Sandhu.

Tikka, who served as SAD’s urban head besides youth wing district chief for a long time, said that the SAD leadership has been ignoring the contribution of ‘Taksali’ Akalis and had deviated from its core issues.

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).
