A section of Sikh community members today held a protest against the BJP, after Pehowa BJP candidate Kawaljeet Singh Ajrana surrendered his ticket and Jai Bhagwan Sharma replaced him.

They said that pressure was created in the name of party workers demanding a local candidate but Jai Bhagwan Sharma was also not a local candidate.

They burnt the effigy of Chief Minister Nayab Saini and Thanesar MLA Subhash Sudha. The protesters alleged that Ajrana was pressurised by the BJP to surrender his ticket and they will boycott the BJP in the election.

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).
