Kurukshetra, June 24

AAP candidate from Pehowa Anil Dhawan, who lost to the BJP candidate Ashish Sharma, has sought the suspension of the election results of the Pehowa municipal committee and has requested recounting in view of the alleged foul play for the chairperson’s post.

BJP’s Ashish Sharma had defeated AAP’s Anil Dhawan by a margin of 55 votes in Pehowa. The BJP candidate was polled 9,312 votes, while the AAP’s candidate had got 9,257 votes.

In letters to Chief Election Commissioner Dhanpat Singh, Kurukshetra Deputy Commission, and Pehowa SDM, Dhawan said a total of votes polled for the post of chairperson were 20,419, but the total number of votes counted were 20,363.

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).
