Chandigarh, August 8

Reposing faith in the leadership of former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda, five leaders, including three former MLAs, joined the Congress here today.

Former MLAs Sampat Singh, Rambhagat Sharma and Radheshyam Sharma quit the BJP to join the Congress in the presence of Haryana state chief Udaybhan, Rajya Sabha MP Deepender Singh Hooda and the former CM.

Former IYC general secretary Himmat Singh and former president of the All India PNB Association Lalit Arora also joined the Congress besides some former sarpanches of Hisar.

Hooda said all these leaders were strong voices in their respective areas. “The Congress will be greatly strengthened with such strong leaders,” he said.

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).
