The Congress organised a candle march here in the evening, following a press conference by Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi in Delhi today.

Raising the slogan ‘Vote chor, gaddi chhod’, party leaders and workers staged a protest against the alleged irregularities in the Assembly elections held last year.

Women state president Sudha Bhardwaj, district president (rural) Sanjeev Dahiya, and district president (urban) Kamal Diwan, among others, claimed that Rahul Gandhi had proven the irregularities in the voter lists to benefit the BJP.

They alleged that the BJP won the elections through vote theft, and was backed by the Election Commission of India.

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).
