Rohtak, May 12

Two-term former MP from Kurukshetra Kailasho Saini and ex-MLA from Beri Ajit Singh Kadian along with their supporters quit the BJP and joined the Congress in presence of ex-CM Bhupinder Hooda here today.

On the occasion, Hooda said joining of Saini, who belongs to the backward class, would definitely strengthen the Congress. “The Congress will also benefit from the experience of a senior leader like Ajit Singh Kadian,” he added.

Saini said the BJP was an “anti-democratic party. “The BJP is moving ahead on the policy of taking away the right of reservation from SC and OBC. In such a situation, there was no justification for remaining within this party,” she 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).
